Cover and energize the system
*
WARNING:
Before energizing, make sure that ALL Encharge Batter-
ies in the system are properly installed and conductors terminated.
NOTE: Check the box for updates on cover installation instructions.
A ) Check that the field wiring compartment cover(s) for all Encharge
Batteries in the system are closed and secured.
*
WARNING:
Complete the Enphase Enpower and Enphase Combiner
installations before turning the DC switch(es) ON.
+
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock and equipment damage. If the DC
switch is ON, AC voltage might be present at the terminals.
+
DANGER:
Risk of electric shock. AC voltage might be present at
the output when the DC switch is on.
*
WARNING:
Branch circuit protection must be off before switching
DC power on or off.
B ) Turn on the DC switches for the Encharge Batteries.
C ) Place enclosure cover(s) over the battery(ies) as follows.
Encharge 3 (single-width battery cover)
•
Pick up the Encharge 3 Battery cover, stand in front of the battery so
that the cover and battery are on a level, and slide the cover over the
battery so that the interior guides of the cover slide easily over the
guides on the battery unit.
•
Check that the screw hole on top of the battery cover aligns with that
on the battery.
•
Use the included screw to attach the cover to the battery. Tighten the
screw as needed.
Encharge 10 (triple-width battery cover)
•
The Encharge 10 Battery cover in wide and may require two persons to
guide smoothly over the battery units.
•
Pick up the Encharge 10 Battery cover, stand in front of the battery
so that the cover and battery are on a level, and slide the cover over
the battery so that the interior guides of the cover slide easily over the
guides on the battery units.
•
Check that the screw holes on top of the battery cover align with those
on the batteries.
•
Use the included screws to attach the cover to the batteries. Tighten
the screws as needed.
D ) Turn on the AC circuit feeding the Encharge Battery(ies).
E ) The Encharge battery LED(s) flashes blue for the duration of the startup
process and then start flashing green until the startup process is com-
plete. If the LED(s) is not flashing blue and then green, see the following
troubleshooting section and Enphase Ensemble Troubleshooting Guide.

Use the Enphase Installer Toolkit to commission the Encharge
Battery(ies). Once connected to the IQ Envoy, refer to the Installer Tool-
kit help topics for more information.
After the IQ Envoy has detected the Encharge Battery(ies), the Encharge
LEDs operate as described in the following section.

OPERATION
a
LED overview
After being commissioned, the LED flashes yellow while each Encharge
Battery boots up. If the LED rapidly flashes green for more than two
minutes, the battery is in trickle charge mode and will remain so until
it reaches a minimum state of charge (up to 30 minutes). After the En-
charge Battery is booted up, the LED becomes blue or green depending
on the charge level. If the LED flashes yellow after one hour or changes
to a flashing red state, contact Enphase Customer Support at

Uncommissioned
Flashing blue
After booting up, when Encharge has paired
with an IQ Envoy but has not passed the com-
missioning three-way handshake to confirm
that it is an Enphase device.
Flashing green
After passing the three-way handshake with
the IQ Envoy.
After commissioning (normal operation)*

Red flashes in sequences of 2 Error. See “Troubleshooting”.
Solid yellow
Not operating due to high temperature. See
“Troubleshooting”.
Solid blue or green
Idle. Color transitions from blue to green as
state of charge increases. You can check
Enlighten for charge status.

* Encharge batteries have a one-hour orphan timer. If the IQ Envoy stops commu-
nicating with them, after one hour the Encharge batteries return to an “uncommis-
sioned” state.

Troubleshooting
If the Encharge Battery(ies) are not operating correctly, perform the fol-
lowing steps. If the issue persists, contact Enphase Customer Support
at
enphase.com/en-us/support/contact
A ) If the Encharge Battery(ies) do not operate, check the temperature
in the room and increase cooling and/or ventilation as required.
Check that the front, top, and sides of the Encharge batteries have
at least 15cm (six inches) of unobstructed clearance.
B ) If the Encharge LED is off, turn off the breaker for the branch
circuit, wait for at least one minute, and turn it back on.
NOTE
: During a brownout or blackout, the Encharge powers down
automatically. This is normal. When power is restored, it automati-
cally starts up again.
C ) If you do not see Encharge information in Enlighten, check that
the IQ Envoy and the Internet connection are working. If the issue
persists, contact Enphase Customer Support at
.
