Verify System Configuration
9
While still connected to the IQ Gateway with Enphase Installer App, check
the System screen for the following:
A ) For microinverters, confirm that the expected number of devices are detect-
ed and communicating by navigating to Devices & Array >
Microinverters & Array and check if the status is Producing.
B ) Check that the grid profile is set for all the microinverters. Setting the
profile may take up to 5 minutes for a typical system.
C ) To check if IQ Battery or IQ System Controller is connected, navigate to
Devices & Array > IQ Battery or IQ System Controller > <serial number>
and ensure they are communicating.
D ) Tap Step 6 and go to Production Meter and follow the wizard to enable
the production meter.
E ) Tap Consumption Meter and follow the on-screen instructions to enable
the consumption meter.
F ) Verify the meter readings.
G ) Tap Live Status and conduct functional testing.
If you used Enphase Installer App to detect devices, the Power Production
LED
lights solid green when all expected microinverters are producing
power. If you did not use Enphase Installer App, it lights solid green if all
communicating microinverters are producing power. It flashes green when
devices are upgrading. Check Enphase Installer App for production status
details. If the Power Production LED remains solid red, see Troubleshooting

Connect to Enphase Installer App Over Cellular
(Model X2-IQ-AM1-240-4C only)
The IQ Combiner 4C includes a cell modem. (The IQ Combiner 4 does not
include the modem.) The Enphase Mobile Connect LTE-M1 cell modem
connects to AT&T's or Sprint's LTE-M network. Reference AT&T's or Sprint's
LTE coverage maps, if required.
Confirm that the USB cable between IQ Gateway and the cell modem is
connected at both ends. Use either of the two USB ports on the IQ Gateway.
If receiving power from the IQ Gateway, the modem power LED lights.
Within three minutes the Network Communications LED
indicating a successful connection to Enphase Installer App.
If the Network Communications LED remains off or lights solid red, see Trouble-
shooting in the Enphase Mobile Connect Installation Guide.
Checking Connection Status and Cellular Signal Strength
An IQ Gateway with Mobile Connect automatically reports to Enphase
Installer App. When the IQ Gateway establishes an Internet connection
through the cellular modem, the IQ Gateway Network Communications LED
glows solid green.
Warning! If you have already installed and connected the
cellular modem to IQ Gateway, do NOT move the modem to
another IQ Gateway. This will deactivate the modem.
You can use the Enphase Installer App to check the modem status and cellular
signal strength. The IQ Gateway's AP (Access Point) Wi-Fi network allows you
to connect your mobile device (smart phone or tablet) to the IQ Gateway.
A) On the IQ Gateway, the AP Mode LED
network is available. If the AP Mode LED is not lit, press the AP Mode
button.
B) On your mobile device, go to Settings and join the Wi-Fi network "IQ
Gateway_nnnnnn" (where "nnnnnn" represents the final six digits of the
IQ Gateway serial number).
C)
Launch Enphase Installer App, go to your system, and tap IQ Gateway
connectivity.
D)
Ensure the IQ Gateway is connected to your mobile device, verify the
network configuration, and view the cellular connection status.

Connect to Enphase Installer App over Wi-Fi
To configure Wi-Fi, the cellular modem must not be connected. Requires a
wireless router with an Internet connection.
A) On the IQ Gateway, verify that no Ethernet cable is plugged into the RJ45
port.
B) On the IQ Gateway, verify that no cellular modem is plugged into the USB
port.
C) If the router supports WPS, press and hold the WPS button on the wire-
less router for a few seconds. On most routers, a WPS indicator begins
flashing.
D) If you are using the Enphase Installer App mobile app, go to your system
and tap Enphase Installer App Step 4 (IQ Gateway connectivity), tap
Wi-Fi, and then tap your network from the list of available networks. If the
wireless router does not support WPS, you may be prompted to enter a
password.
The Network Communications LED begins flashing green. Within three
minutes the same LED lights solid green, indicating a successful connection
to Enphase Installer App. If the Network Communications LED remains off or
lights solid red, see Troubleshooting.
Send System Summary Report

When you have completed your system setup, you
can generate and email a summary report.
A ) From Enphase Installer App, tap step 7 of the
system workflow to view the report. The report
displays IQ Gateway and system information
with a list of device serial numbers, their last
power reports, and information about the grid
profile applied to the microinverters as shown.
B ) Tap
to email the report to your office as a
record of successful system installation or to the
utility for evidence of grid profile settings.
