It is important to ensure that the Neutral Forming Transformer
(NFT) circuit breaker is always in the ON position. This protective
circuit will protect your loads, so it is best to leave the NFT
breaker ON.
Do not install or use the Enphase storage system equipment if it
has been damaged in any way.
Do not sit on, place objects on, or insert objects into the Enphase
storage system equipment.
Do not place beverages or liquid containers on top of the Enphase
storage equipment. Do not immerse Enphase storage equipment
in liquids or ooding.
When placing the Encharge battery(ies) in storage, ensure that AC
power is not present and that the DC switch is in the locked and
open position. While in storage, damage to the battery can occur
from over-discharge. If the battery state of charge falls to 0%, the
Encharge battery(ies) can be damaged or destroyed. Because of
this, the Encharge Battery(ies) must only be stored for a limited
amount of time.
• The Encharge battery(ies) must be installed and energized by
the date indicated on the shipping box label.
• The Encharge battery(ies) must have a charge state of no
more than 30% when placed in storage.
• The Encharge battery(ies) placed in storage must be
disconnected from AC source with DC switch turned off.
• If the Encharge battery(ies) have already been installed, they
must be placed into Sleep Mode prior to uninstalling. A battery
in Sleep Mode can be stored a maximum of two months in
Sleep Mode.
Protection against lightning and resulting voltage surge must be
in accordance with local standards.
Using unapproved attachments or accessories could result in
damage or injury.
To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty
requirements, Enphase storage equipment must be installed
and/or stored according to the instructions in Enphase
storage equipment guides.
Enphase Enpower and Encharge are compatible only with the
IQ Envoy or Envoy S metered communications gateway properly
tted with the Ensemble Communications Kit and production and
consumption CTs. An IQ Envoy or Envoy S metered is required
for operation of the Encharge battery(ies) and Enpower. Earlier
versions of the Enphase Envoy communications gateway are
incompatible.
Enphase Enpower and Encharge are intended to operate with an
internet connection. A Wi-Fi or Ethernet internet connection is
required in addition to the cellular modem connectivity to ensure
consistent connectivity.
During use, storage, and transport, keep the Enphase storage
equipment:
• Properly ventilated
• Away from heat, sparks, and direct sunlight
• Away from excessive dust, corrosive and explosive gases, oil,
and smoke
• Away from direct exposure to gas exhaust, such as from
motor vehicles. If mounted in the direct path of a motor
vehicle, mounting height minimum is 91 cm (36 inch)
minimum mounting height.
• Free of vibrations
• Away from falling or moving objects, including motor vehicles
• At an elevation of fewer than 2500 meters (8200 feet) above
sea-level
• In a location compliant with re safety regulations (has a
smoke detector)
• In a location compliant with local building codes and
standards
