ENERGYTRAK USER MANUAL | 14
Create a New Site
To create a new Site, navigate to the Sites list and press the CREATE NEW SITE button at the bottom of
the screen.
More information: Before you are able to commission the SimpliPHI ESS using the EnergyTrak app,
you will first need to create a new Site in the app. A Site represents the physical location where the
product is being installed (typically, a residence or a business).
Start Commissioning
Before you are able to commission the SimpliPHI ESS using the EnergyTrak app, you will first need
to create a new Site in the app. A Site represents the physical location where the product is being
installed (typically, a residence or a business).
Establish Power to the Inverter
Before continuing further, establish power to the inverter (and turn on the batteries, if applicable) at
this time.
The app provides an abbreviated walkthrough on how to do this. However, technicians who are new
to the SimpliPHI ESS are encouraged to review the more detailed guide provided in the SimpliPHI
6kW Inverter Installation Manual and SimpliPHI 4.9kWh Installation Manual. This walkthrough can
optionally be skipped by clicking the SKIP THE INSTRUCTION button.
Connect to Gateway over Bluetooth
Select the appropriate Bluetooth network from the list for the EnergyTrak Gateway that was installed,
and then press the CONTINUE button. If prompted by the mobile device, be sure to allow both the
Bluetooth connection and location services.
More information: EnergyTrak uses a Bluetooth connection between the EnergyTrak Gateway and
the mobile device running the EnergyTrak app. The Bluetooth list will show all available Bluetooth
networks that are in range of the mobile device. The name of the gateway’s Bluetooth network
matches its ID#, which is printed on the label of the gateway.
If the EnergyTrak Gateway is not in the network list…
For security reasons, the EnergyTrak Gateway is designed to limit the length of time it remains in
pairing mode. The gateway will enter pairing mode for five (5) minutes after it powers ON. After
this period of time elapses, the gateway will need to be power cycled in order to force it back into
pairing mode.
To power cycle the gateway, simply unplug its power cable for 20 seconds and then plug it back
in. After about one (1) minute, the gateway will enter Bluetooth pairing mode and broadcast its
presence to the app.
If you are already on the “Connect to gateway” screen in the app, you can remain on this screen
to see it refresh automatically once the network is detected. If the list does not refresh within one
(1) minute of power cycling the gateway, go back to the previous screen and then advance to the
Connect to gateway screen again to force this list to refresh.
Once a mobile device has been paired with an EnergyTrak Gateway, it will retain this device in
its memory and connect automatically when the device is in range. The gateway does NOT need
to remain in pairing mode throughout the commissioning process; once connected to a mobile
device, it will maintain its connection as long as the mobile device remains in range.
ENERGYTRAK USER MANUAL | 15

ENERGYTRAK USER MANUAL | 16
Equipment Details
Ensure the proper inverter and battery quantities are detected.
More information: The EnergyTrak Gateway will automatically search for and detect the compatible equipment
which is (a) powered ON and (b) properly connected to the gateway. The Equipment Details screen will show the
SimpliPHI 6kW Inverter and SimpliPHI 4.9kWh Battery (or Batteries) it is able to detect.
Update Firmware
If the firmware files on the inverter or battery are up-to-date, press the CONTINUE button (it will be the only

the SimpliPHI 6kW Inverter and SimpliPHI 4.9kWh Battery. When the Equipment details screen opens,
EnergyTrak will automatically check the current version of the firmware files in the app with the version of the
firmware files currently installed on the inverter and battery.
Firmware File Transfer to Gateway
The mobile app will first transfer the firmware files from the mobile device to the gateway using the Bluetooth
connection. Please allow up to two minutes for the transfer to be completed. BE SURE TO REMAIN IN
BLUETOOTH RANGE UNTIL THIS IS COMPLETED.
Firmware Update to Inverter and Battery
Once the files have been transferred to the gateway, updating of the inverter and battery will begin using the
hardwired connection between the gateway and the devices. This process can take upwards of 20 minutes
or more to complete. This process is NOT reliant on the Bluetooth connection between the mobile device and
the gateway, so it is okay to take the mobile device out of Bluetooth range (go get a snack!).
If the mobile device leaves Bluetooth range once the gateway has begun updating the firmware on the
inverter and/or battery, the firmware update process will continue between the EnergyTrak Gateway and the
SimpliPHI ESS).
Press the CONTINUE button once the firmware files are up to date.
Choose Grid Profile
Select the appropriate Grid Profile and then press the CONTINUE button.
More information: The “Grid Profile” is a selection made during commissioning the SimpliPHI ESS
in EnergyTrak which defines specific operating parameters of the SimpliPHI 6kW Inverter, ensuring the
system is compliant and interoperable with the site’s electric utility. Select either IEEE 1547 Default or
O-Grid, depending on the application.
Choose Operating Profile
Select the appropriate Operating Profile and then press the CHOOSE PROFILE button.
More information: The “Operating Profile” is a selection made during commissioning the SimpliPHI
ESS in EnergyTrak which acts like an “easy button” for getting the system online. Each operating profile
has a pre-defined template of settings that are applied to the SimpliPHI 6kW Inverter. Most of these
settings can be customized prior to completing the commissioning process. See the section below for
more information related to Operating Profiles.
If you select the Grid-Tied Backup profile, you will be prompted to optionally define the desired time-
of-use settings. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this section.
