Enphase Encharge Battery System Quick Install Guide

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 Cover Kit box for updates on cover installation
instructions.
A ) Check that the eld 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.
B ) Turn on the DC switches for the Encharge Batteries.
+ DANGER: Risk of electric shock. AC voltage is present at the
output when the DC switch is on.
* WARNING: Branch circuit protection must be off before switching
DC power on or off.
+ WARNING! Risk of electric shock and equipment damage. If the DC
switch is ON, Encharge will try to form a grid.
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) should ash yellow for the duration of
the startup process. If the LED is not ashing yellow, see the following
section on Troubleshooting.

Use the Enphase Installer Toolkit to commission the Encharge
Battery(ies). Once connected to the Envoy, refer to the Installer Toolkit
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.

a
LED overview
The LED ashes yellow while each Encharge Battery boots up. If the
LED rapidly ashes 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 Encharge Battery is
booted up, the LED becomes blue or green depending on the charge
level. If the LED ashes yellow after one hour or changes to a ashing
red state, contact Enphase Customer Support at enphase.com/en-us/
support/contact.
State Description
Rapidly ashing yellow Starting up / Establishing communications
Red ashes 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.
Slowly ashing blue Discharging
Slowly ashing green Charging
Slowly ashing yellow Sleep mode activated
Off Not operating. See “Troubleshooting”.

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 30 cm (one foot) 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.
