IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Before using the blink charging system, read all of these instructions, as well as the WARNING and CAUTION markings in this document, on the blink unit, and on your vehicle. Consult the following symbols and related instructions for the actions necessary to avoid hazards.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. g.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Guidelines and specifications This Installation Manual describes how to properly install blink Model WE-30C/K and WE-48C/K Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), referred to as the “blink” throughout this document. Applicable codes and standards The installer or contractor is responsible for obtaining and becoming familiar with the following publications.
The installer or contractor shall not modify or otherwise alter blink equipment in any manner other than specifically authorized by this installation manual. Unauthorized modification to the blink equipment voids the manufacturer’s warranty. Customer responsibility The customer is responsible for contracting with a certified electrical contractor to perform all electrical work, including connections at the blink, supply circuit, and main service panel.

Charger assembly layout The charger assembly should be mounted on the wall in close proximity to the vehicle stall and at a location where the 18-foot charging cord can be easily connected to the vehicle charging port without the cord stretching taut and/or presenting a trip hazard. The charger assembly must be mounted at a height (minimum 18 inches [460 mm] above floor) where the panel display can be easily seen and monitored by the operator.
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. The bottom carton contains the charger housing assembly (with 18-foot charging cord) and hardware packet. The 18-foot charging cord is attached at the bottom right of the charger housing assembly.

Open the blink shipping box and remove the two cartons containing the cord reel and the charger assembly.
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. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for wall anchors that provide a minimum pull-out force of 80 lbs (36 kg) per anchor; install four anchors. 8.
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. Choose an appropriate place on the wall for mounting the cord reel assembly. This can be below or to either side of the charger assembly. 2.
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. Tighten the bolts to 35–38 in-lb (4.0–4.3 Nm). 8.
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. Figure 8 – Cord Reel Vehicle Connector IM0001_L2_R_WMv1.
Connecting power to the blink Input power IMPORTANT: Electrical power to the blink must be installed by a certified electrical contractor who is familiar with local codes and standards that apply to the installation of structural components and electrical equipment. Minimum size and color-coding requirements must be in accordance with any applicable state or local code, and the National Electrical Code.
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 9 – Housing Cover Removal 2. Slide a 1-inch trade-size fitting (not provided), appropriate to the conduit type used, over the end of the service wiring. IM0001_L2_R_WMv1.
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 – Service Wiring Terminals 18 IM0001_L2_R_WMv1.
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. Connect the ground wire to the service ground terminal (Figure 11) at the lower right of the charger assembly. 7. Remove and discard the protective film on the touch screen. 8.
11. Test the blink using ECOtality’s Car-in-a-Box equipment. Refer to the blink Car-in-a-Box Operator’s Manual (OM0002_CIB) for more information. 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. 12. When the test is successfully completed and if required, install a security seal (not provided) at the bottom of the housing cover.
Figure 14 – Location of RJ45 (Ethernet) Port Figure 15 – Closed RJ45 (Ethernet) Port CAUTION: Figure 16 – Open RJ45 (Ethernet) Port 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. 2. Touch the plus sign (+) and repeat three more times as the plus sign moves to the next two corners and then to the center of the screen. 3. A circle () appears in one corner. Touch the circle.
