PREPARATION
A ) Download the latest version of the Enphase Installer
App and open it to log in to your Enphase Account. This
mobile app lets you connect to the
IQ Gateway M to track the system installation progress.
To download, go to
enphase.com/installerapp
the QR code on the right.
B ) Check the box for the following items:
IQ Gateway M
•
Two split-core current transformers (CTs) for production and
•
consumption metering
DIN rail for mounting the IQ Gateway M
•
Quick Install Guide (this document)
•
Anatel logo and warning labels
•
C ) Make sure there is enough space in the switchboard to install CTs.
Do not install the CTs in a panel that exceeds 75% of the wiring
space of any cross-sectional area within the panel.
D ) Install the IQ Gateway M in an IP54-rated or better enclosure with
conduit attachment when installing outdoors. Do not drill holes on
the top of the enclosure or anywhere that allows moisture ingress.
Metallic enclosures may impair Wi-Fi signal strength. Use an
appropriately rated enclosure if installing the IQ Gateway M indoors.
E ) If you are installing the IQ Gateway M in a multi-phase application,
make sure you have the following items:
• Additional CTs (CT-100-SPLIT) for multi-phase installations. Ensure
you have one CT for each phase monitored for both production
and consumption.
• If installing on a three-phase site, install a phase coupler on the
load side of the overcurrent protection device. See your region's
technical brief on phase coupling at
https://enphase.com/contact/support. Consult Enphase Support
for compatible devices.
F ) Decide how to connect the IQ Gateway M to the internet: choose
Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
G ) Ensure to have the following optional items, if needed:
Ethernet over power line communication (PLC) bridge with
•
Ethernet cables [order EPLC-02 (EU), EPLC-03 (UK) or EPLC-04
(AU/NZ)]
Ethernet cable [802.3, Cat5E or Cat6, unshielded twisted pair
•
(UTP)]. Do not use a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
H ) Install the PV system as directed by the installation manuals.
I ) If an Enphase PV system is or will be installed at the site, create a
paper installation map to record device serial numbers and positions
in the array. You will scan this map later using the
Enphase Installer App and your mobile device.
Peel the removable label from the bottom of the IQ Gateway M and
•
affix it to the paper installation map.
Always keep a copy of the installation map for your records.
•
For installation in Brazil, apply the Anatel logo label and a warning
•
label to the IQ Gateway M surface at a visible location. These
labels are provided with this box.
NOTE: If needed, you can find an installation map with any
Enphase microinverter quick install
For three-phase systems, use an external disconnect device for
managing loss of phase (LOP) requirements.
