9. Detect the Microinverters
Use one of the following methods to detect microinverters.
Method A: Provision Microinverters with Installer Toolkit
Use the Installer Toolkit mobile app to configure the Envoy-S with the serial numbers of the installed
microinverters.
a.
Launch Installer Toolkit and tap
View Systems
.
b.
Select the system you are working with, or tap
[+]
to add a system.
c.
Connect to the Envoy-S with your mobile device as described in the side
note.
d.
Return to Installer Toolkit. If the serial number for the Envoy-S you are
installing is not displayed on the System Overview screen, tap the
[+]
next
to the word “Envoys”. When the app displays the serial number of the
Envoy-S, tap it to add it to the system.
e.
Create the arrays and scan the serial numbers from the installation map
as instructed by the Installer Toolkit Operation Manual at
enphase.com/support
.
f.
Tap the
Connect
button. This provisions the scanned microinverters on
the Envoy-S.
g.
When prompted, confirm the number of microinverters that you installed.
h.
If your system is in Hawaii or in another region that does not use the
Factory-Installed Grid Profile
, select and apply a grid profile to the
microinverters.
The Device Communications LED lights solid green if all of the provisioned
devices are communicating or solid amber if any devices are not communicating.
Method B: Discover Microinverters with Installer Toolkit
a.
Use the Installer Toolkit mobile app to set the number of microinverters the Envoy-S should search
for on the power line.
b.
Connect to the Envoy-S with your mobile device as described in the side note.
c.
Launch Installer Toolkit and tap
Connect to an Envoy
.
d.
When prompted, enter the number of microinverters that you installed.
e.
If your system is in Hawaii or in another region that does not use the
Factory-Installed Grid Profile
,
select and apply a grid profile to the microinverters.
f.
When prompted to start a device scan, tap
OK
.
The Device Communications LED flashes green while scanning. It lights solid green when all of the
microinverters you installed are communicating or solid amber if any devices are not communicating.
Method C: Discover Microinverters with the Envoy-S
If you are not using the Installer Toolkit app, press the
Device Scan
button on the Envoy-S. The Envoy
searches the power line for 15 minutes, but does not know how many microinverters it should discover.
The Device Communications LED flashes green for 15 minutes while scanning. At the end of the scan, it
lights solid green if at least one microinverter was discovered or solid amber if no microinverters were
discovered (or if any discovered microinverter stops communicating).
NOTE
: Connecting to Envoy-S
with a Mobile Device:
The Envoy’s AP (Access Point)
Wi-Fi network allows you to
connect your mobile device to
the Envoy-S. The AP Mode LED
lights solid green when the
network is available.
•
On the Envoy-S, if the AP
Mode LED is not lit, press
the AP Mode button.
•
On your mobile device, go
to Settings and join the Wi-
Fi network “Envoy_nnnnnn”
(where “nnnnnn” represents
the final six digits of the
Envoy serial number).
