L. On the ground, use the Installer Toolkit mobile app to delete the old microinverter serial number
from the Enphase IQ Envoy database. In Installer Toolkit, once connected to the Envoy:
a. Tap
Micros
>
Manage
.
b. Tap the checkbox
to the right of the microinverter serial number that you replaced.
c. Tap
to delete the microinverter from the Envoy-S database.
M. Add the new microinverter serial number to the Envoy database by initiating a device scan using
one of the following methods:
a.
Method 1: Initiate a scan using the Installer Toolkit mobile app
In Installer Toolkit, once connected to the IQ Envoy, navigate to the Overview screen.
From the Overview screen, tap
Detected > Start Device Scan
to start a new 30-
minute device scan.
If device scanning on the IQ Envoy is inhibited, the app displays
Scan Inhibited
. If
you need to add more microinverters to the system when device scanning is inhibited
on the IQ Envoy, you must use the Installer Toolkit scanning tool to provision them on
the IQ Envoy, rather than using the IQ Envoy’s device scanning function to discover
them. If this is not possible and you need to enable device scanning on the IQ Envoy,
contact Enphase Customer Support at
enphase.com/en-us/support/contact.
b.
Method 2: Use an IQ Envoy
Press the
Device Scan
button on the IQ Envoy. The IQ Envoy begins a 15-minute
scan to identify all of the microinverters deployed at the site. The Microinverter
Communications LED flashes green during the scan.
N. Log in to Enlighten to use Enlighten’s Array Builder to add the newly detected microinverter to the
virtual array.
O. Ship the old microinverter to Enphase using the supplied return-shipping label.

Enphase Q Cable Planning and Ordering
The Enphase Q Cable is a continuous length of 12 AWG, double insulated, outdoor-rated cable with
integrated connectors for microinverters. These connectors are preinstalled along the Q Cable at intervals
to accommodate varying PV module widths. The microinverters plug directly into the cable connectors.
The cabling is compatible with a variety of PV racking systems. For a list of approved PV racking
systems, refer to the PV Racking Compatibility document on the Enphase website at
enphase.com/support.
Connector Spacing Options
Q Cable is available in three connector spacing options. The gap between connectors on the cable can
be 1.3 meters, 2.0 meters, or 2.3 meters. The 1.3 meter spacing is best suited for connecting PV modules
installed in portrait orientation, while the 2.0 meter and 2.3 meter spacing allows you to install 60-cell and
72-cell PV modules in landscape orientation, respectively.

The cabling system is flexible enough to adapt to almost any solar design. To determine the cable type
you need, apply the following considerations:
When mixing PV modules in both portrait and landscape orientation, you may need to
transition between cable types. See the preceding table for available cable types.
To transition between cable types, install a field wireable connector
.
In situations where portrait modules are widely spaced, you may need to use
landscape spaced cables for the portrait-oriented PV modules and create loops of
excess cable, if needed.
WARNING:
Do not form loops smaller than 12 cm (4.75”) in diameter.
