WARNING: RISK OF FIRE This equipment has arcing or sparking parts that must not be exposed to flammable vapors. This equipment must be located at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor. Figure 1 – blink Installations, Typical IM0001_L2_R_WMv1.3...
Installation WARNING: RISK OF FIRE To reduce the risk of fire, install blink on a wall constructed of a material resistant to combustion such as plasterboard (drywall) over studs, 16 inches on center. The blink kit supports installation of the charger assembly over a wood-framed wall (studs on 16-inch centers), with or without plasterboard (drywall) covering.
The blink is shipped in an over-pack box containing two cartons, one with the charger housing assembly and the second with the cord reel. The top carton in the over-pack box contains the cord reel mounting cleat, the cord reel, and cord reel cover.
Charger housing installation To install the blink charger housing: 1. Open the blink shipping box and remove the two cartons containing the cord reel and the charger assembly. Unpack the cartons and lay out the contents (the two cartons are attached by the charging cord;...
Figure 5 – Charger Assembly Installation 6. Using the housing assembly as a template, mark the centers of the four mounting holes and remove the housing assembly from the wall. 7. Using a 3/16-inch drill bit, drill a pilot hole for each of the mounting holes (wood-framed wall). For brick or concrete walls, metal anchors must be placed in the wall.
WARNING: All four lag screws (and anchors, if applicable) must be installed to prevent the charger assembly from pulling out of the wall. CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the lag screws when mounting the charger housing assembly on the wall. Over-tightening can deform and damage the housing base plate. Cord reel installation To install the cord reel: 1.
NOTE: If there are irregularities in the wall surface, it may be necessary to place a shim (not supplied) behind one or more of the mounting holes to avoid distorting the cleat. 7. Place the cord reel in position on the cleat. Using a socket wrench with extension, install three M6 hex-head bolts (Item 3, Figure 4) to attach the reel to the cleat.
9. Wrap the charging cord around the cord reel and place the vehicle connector end in the holder at the center of the reel. DO NOT force the connector strain relief past the cord retention fingers on the reel. Lift the connector up and into the reel so that only the cord passes between the retention fingers.
40 Amps; settings at 15A, 20A and 30A available Circuit Rating CAUTION: The blink EVSE’s factory default current setting is 30 amps. If the device is connected to a lower current setting, a qualified blink technician must adjust the device settings and reset the unit before use.
To connect the blink to the power supply: 1. Remove five M6 hex-head bolts (Item 3, Figure 4); then, remove the charger housing cover from the charger assembly. DO NOT remove the four lag screws securing the charger assembly base to the wall.
Figure 10 – Supply Circuit Port 3. Insert the supply circuit conductors through the knockout in the metal housing bracket. Pull enough wiring through to allow for connection to the knockout and ground terminals. 4. Position the 1-inch fitting in the knockout and secure in place using a metal lock ring. Figure 11 –...
CAUTION: Be careful to not disturb factory wiring when making supply circuit wiring connections within the charger housing. 5. Connect the AC supply conductors (L1 and L2) to the upper two terminals in the terminal block (Figure 11) at the lower left of the charger assembly. 6.
Figure 13 – Security Seal NOTE: The blink will make an audible “click” each time that power starts flowing from the blink to the Car-in-a-Box, and again when power stops flowing. This is a normal sound for the blink to make.
CAUTION: The Ethernet port delivered with the blink charging system is intended for indoor use only (such as in a garage). Contact the blink Call Center for information on the additional requirements for a safe outdoor Ethernet connection. To physically connect the blink to a LAN via Ethernet: 1.
Calibrating the blink touch screen The first time you start up the blink charging system, a calibration screen appears, with a small plus sign (+) in one corner. To calibrate the touch screen: 1. Touch the plus sign (+). A plus sign (+) appears in the next corner.
