PREPARATION
A ) Download the Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile app and
open it to log in to your Enlighten account. With this app,
you can connect to the Envoy-S to track system installa-
tion progress. To download, go to
enphase.com/toolkit
or
scan the QR code at right.
B) Check the box for the following items:
•
Enphase AC Combiner Box with Envoy-S
•
Ferrite bead to attach to your Ethernet Cable, if used
•
Enphase AC Combiner Box Quick Install Guide
(this document)
C ) Make sure you have the following
required
items:
•
Plan to use screwdriver, pliers, and torque wrench.
•
Provide overcurrent protection in the load center in accordance with
NFPA 70, §705.12.
•
Provide suitable mounting hardware: use screws that are long
enough to secure the unit to the vertical mounting surface
•
Use copper conductors rated for wet locations and sized to meet
local code requirements and voltage drop/rise considerations.
(Breakers are rated for 14-6 AWG copper, and output lugs are rated
for 14-4 AWG copper).
•
Use only UL Listed rain-tight or wet location hubs for wire entry into
the enclosure.
D ) If you plan to do consumption metering:
•
Make sure you have two split-core consumption metering CTs (order
CT-200-SPLIT).
•
Check that there is enough space in the load center to install CTs.
Do not install the CTs in a panel where they exceed 75% of the wiring
space of any cross-sectional area within the load center.
E ) Decide how to connect the Envoy-S to the Internet: Use Wi-Fi, an En-
phase Mobile Connect modem, or Ethernet. Then, make sure you have
the following optional items, if needed:
•
Enphase Mobile Connect modem [order CELLMODEM-01 (3G) or
CELLMODEM-03 (4G)]
•
Ethernet over power line communication (PLC) bridge with Ethernet
cables (order EPLC-01)
•
Ethernet cable: 802.3, Cat5E or Cat6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP).
Do not use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
F ) Create a paper installation map to record device serial numbers and
positions in the array. You will scan this map later using Installer Tool-
kit and your mobile device.
•
Peel the removable serial number label from each device and affix it
to the respective location on the paper installation map.
•
Write the Envoy-S serial number on the paper installation map. Later,
you will need to enter this number in Installer Toolkit. You can type it
in manually or scan the label on the inside of the AC Combiner door.
•
Always keep a copy of the installation map for your records and to
upload to Enlighten later.
G )
Note that installation of the Combiner has two parts.
To ensure successful device detection, complete Part 2 after install-
ing any Enphase Microinverters and/or Enphase AC Battery(ies).
Note
:
If needed, you can find an installation map at the back of any
Enphase Microinverter Quick Install Guide.
IMPORTANT: This guide is for model XAM1-120-B / 880-00834 ONLY. Check model
number on unit. Wiring instructions differ depending on the model number.

Installing the
Enphase AC Combiner Box
The Enphase AC Combiner Box™ combines up to three AC branch circuits of Enphase AC Batteries, M-Series Microinverters and/or S-Series Microinverters. To
install the Enphase AC Combiner Box, read and follow all warnings and instructions in this Guide and in the
Enphase Envoy-S Installation and Operation Manual
at:
enphase.com/support
. Safety warnings are listed on the back of this guide. If you do not fully understand any of the concepts, terminology, or hazards out-
lined in these instructions, refer installation to a qualified electrician or installer. These instructions are not meant to be a complete explanation of a renewable
energy system. All installations must comply with national and local electrical codes. Professional installation is recommended.
The AC Combiner Box is an outdoor-rated, NRTL-certified NEMA type 3R, polycarbonate enclosure containing an Enphase
Envoy-S™, circuit breakers, and wiring
for Envoy-S connections.
