+

 

DANGER! 

Risk of electric shock. Check that the dedicated circuit 

breaker protecting the branch where the IQ Battery(ies) will be 

connected is turned off before wiring. 

WARNING! 

Risk of equipment damage. The DC switch must be 

OFF before installing, otherwise IQ Battery will try to form a grid. 

D ) 

If installing an IQ Battery 10

, install the inter-unit raceways. The 

left-side and right-side conduit openings are different diameters, so 

you must install the raceway in the proper direction. 

•  Face the fronts of the batteries, 

and insert the raceway through 

the right-hand unit’s left-side 

conduit opening from within 

the field wiring compartment, 

with the arm of the raceway 

pointing up. 

•  Push the raceway through the right-hand unit’s left-side conduit 

opening and into the left-side unit’s right-side conduit, opening until the 

two snap features on the raceway engage the left-side unit’s enclosure. 

•  Once fully inserted, rotate the “arm” toward you until it stops. 

• 

The left-side conduit opening of each battery unit has a flat surface, 

without additional features. The larger seal (green) on the raceway 

mates with this opening. The right-side conduit opening has a 

groove around the hole to fit the O-ring (red) of the raceway. Make 

sure that the O-ring is captured in the groove between the IQ Battery 

enclosure and the raceway flange adjacent to the O-ring. 

E )  Using the conductors and suitable conduits, connect the AC dis-

connect and the first adjacent IQ Battery. Use the conduit openings 

provided to connect the conduit and pass the wires through them. 

Note that if an Enphase IQ System Controller is in line-of-sight, the 

breaker can service as a disconnect.

 

WARNING! 

Risk of equipment damage. Do not modify or rewire 

the pre-installed wiring or bonding connections in the field wiring 

compartment. 

WARNING! 

Risk of equipment damage. Always connect to two 

Lines (active) and one ground. 

F )  Connect each wire in the field wiring compartment to its correspond

-

ing conductor (Lines and Ground). Each terminal accepts two 14-8 

AWG conductors (11mm/7/16 inch strip length). Tighten to 14 lb-in.

G ) 

If installing an IQ Battery 10

, route the wires from the first IQ Battery 

to the adjacent  IQ Battery through the inter-unit raceway. There are 

two positions for each line and for ground in the terminal block to 

allow for daisy-chaining.

WARNING! 

Risk of equipment damage. Do not daisy chain more 

than six total IQ Battery 3 or two IQ Battery 10 on a single branch 

circuit. 

H )  After all wires in the field wiring compartment are connected and 

secured, check that there are no exposed conductors. 

I )  If connecting additional IQ Batteries, use another conduit and another 

set of wires to connect between field wiring compartments.

J )  Gently arrange all the wires and connectors inside the field wiring 

compartment.

6

K )  Plug any unused conduit openings before proceeding.

L )  Replace the field wiring compartment cover. Use a cross-head 

screw driver to tighten the cover screws to 2.3Nn (20.3 Ib-in).

WARNING!

 Risk of equipment damage. Ensure that no wires are 

pinched before replacing the cover.

DANGER!

 Risk of electric shock. The system is not ready to 

be energized! Do not close the circuit breaker or turn on the DC 

switch. 

Inter-unit

 

raceway

Correctly installed 

inter-unit raceway

Grommet to be installed on the left 

side or right side when the hole in the 

left side or right side is not used for 

cable routing.

(To be used in IQ Battery 3 when no 

conduit is used with the hole).

(To be used in Right most Base unit in 

IQ Battery 10 when no conduit is used 

with the hole).

       Dismounting of IQ Battery 3 Cover

A) Remove the conduit covers from either sides of the IQ Battery cover

B) Lift up the ring of the quarter turn screw.

C) Turn the ring in the anticlockwise direction to unlock the screw.

D) After unlocking, hold the ring of the screw and lift the top cover
    up slightly and pull it away from the wall in the indicated direction.

E) While pulling out the cover, make sure that the indicated
    snaps at the bottom of the unit are being unlocked. 
F) Simillarly for dismounting the IQ Battery 10 Cover, please follow the 
    instructions from A to E.
