Connecting the blink
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Verify that electrical power to the blink input power wiring is disconnected. Electric shock
can kill!
NOTE: The following procedure covers the installation of a blink that is being hard-wired to the
main service panel. This procedure does not apply to the optional cord-connected wall-mount blinks.
Cord-connected blinks require the installation of a NEMA 6-50R receptacle in close proximity to the
charger housing assembly. For these installations, insert the power cord into the 6-50R receptacle and
then 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.
