IQ System Controller 2 Quick Install Guide

Close and energize IQ System 

Controller 2

Configure and activate

Operation

WARNING

: Before energizing, make sure that ALL IQ 

System Controller 2 connections are properly installed 
and conductors terminated.

Reconnect the deadfront ground cable to the grounding 
bar, torque as shown in the start of the guide, and replace 
the deadfront using the 5 reserved screws. Tighten the 
cover screws using a Phillips screw driver.

WARNING!

 Risk of equipment damage. Ensure that no 

conductors are pinched before replacing the cover.

WARNING!

 Conductors are factory provided for the 

generator, AC Combiner and IQ Battery. If no generator 
is used with the system, these conductors will not be 
terminated. If the Combiner does not connect to the IQ 
System Controller 2, these will also not be terminated. 
When these wires are not terminated, they should remain 
stowed in the clips on the plastic frame supporting the 
panel board interior and their end caps should not be 
removed.

DANGER

: Risk of electric shock. There are many potential 

sources of voltage. Check any Enphase IQ Battery 
battery, PV, or other generationsource for voltage.

You must ensure that all electrical circuits external to 
IQ System Controller 2 are completed and safe before 
energizing IQ System Controller 2.

If you work on an IQ6/7/M-series retrofit system, and you 

plan to energize IQ System Controller 2 and connect the 
PV without commissioning the system in the same day, 
follow the sequence below:

Leave the AC combiner breaker in the load 
panel where it was originally placed, instead of 
connecting the AC combiner L1 and L2 circuits to 
the terminal lugs in IQ System Controller 2. This 
way your PV systems can still be functional before 
commissioning.

OPEN the NFT and IQ Battery breakers

CLOSE the breakers in the following order:

• 

Main breaker

• 

Load breaker

A.

D.

E.

F.

1.

2.

B.

C.

a.

b.

c.

WARNING!

 At commissioning, you must reconnect the 

AC combiner L1 and L2 circuits back to the terminal lugs 
in IQ System Controller 2 as shown in step 5(F) in this 
document.

NOTE

: If not commissioning the system you must ensure 

that the DC switches on all IQ Battery batteries are turned 

off to avoid the depletion of charge on the IQ Battery 

batteries.

If you plan to commission the system, follow the 
instructions in the Enphase Installer Toolkit app for 
energizing IQ System Controller 2.

Energize the circuit feeding the IQ System Controller 2.  
If installed, turn the breaker feeding the IQ System 
Controller 2 to the on position.

Close and secure the door of the IQ System Controller 2.

Use the Enphase Installer App to commission the IQ System 
Controller

Once connected to the IQ Gateway, refer to the Enphase 
Installer App help topics for more information.

If you do not see the IQ System Controller 2 information in 
Enphase Installer App, check that the IQ Gateway and the 
Internet connection are working.
