RFID Smart Card and fob purchase & management, so you can use public charging stations. 10 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Setting up blink Calibrate the blink touch screen The first time you start up blink, the touch screen needs to be calibrated, much like the screen on a personal digital assistant. This process is very simple and blink will walk you through it!
A small plus sign (+) appears in one corner. Touch the plus sign. Repeat this step four times as the plus sign moves around the screen, first to each corner and then to the center of the screen. A circle () appears in one corner. Touch the circle. Repeat this step three times as the circle moves to each corner. A Calibration Complete message appears in the center of the screen. Touch this message to continue. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 11 Start the setup process Once the blink touch screen has been calibrated, the Welcome screen appears. tip You can set up your blink charging system later if you want, or skip any step in the Setup process. Change your blinks settings any time, by touching Settings on the Main screen. Touch Configure Your Device to start the Setup process. Touch Settings to change your blinks settings later. 12 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 1 Network Setup One of the most important features of your new blink charging system is its ability to communicate over a network. This enables subscribers to access many powerful features via the blink Network, and with your permission, may allow your local utility company to communicate directly with your charging system. It also enables remote updates of your charging systems software and firmware. Your charging system is equipped to communicate over the Internet in two ways:
Wi-Fi If your home has a wireless network, your charging system can connect to it via Wi-Fi. The Network Setup screen may show your wireless network automatically, in which case you can just touch Configure next to your networks name. If you do not see your wireless network because it is set to not broadcast or hidden SSID, touch Manually Connect to Wi-Fi.
(If your wireless network is not displayed, it may be out of range of your blink charging system.) Local Area Network (LAN) If your home has an Internet connection, but not a wireless network, your charging system can connect to the Internet via an Ethernet connection. An Ethernet cable connects your charging system directly to the LAN. The Ethernet port on your blink charger is the center port on the bottom of the charger assembly, and is covered with a black, plastic cap. Simply pull back the cap and plug in the cable. CAUTION: The Ethernet port delivered with your blink charging system is intended for indoor use only (such as in a garage). Contact the blink Call Center or a qualified blink installer for information on the additional requirements for a safe outdoor Ethernet connection. Notes:
Before you can set up the network for your blink charging system, your home must already have an Internet connection, with either (a) a wireless network or (b) an available Ethernet port on a modem or router and an Ethernet cable that reaches from that port to the charging system. We recommend that you obtain the wireless network setup information for your home network before you start, such as the SSID and password. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 13 Step 1 (continued) A. Select your home network type If you see your Wi-Fi network, touch Configure next to its name to set up the connection. See section B, Enter your password. If you do not see your network, touch either:
Manually connect to Wi-Fi. See section E, Set up Wi-Fi manually. or Connect over LAN instead of Wi-Fi. See section B, Enter your password. 14 If this No Wi-Fi Networks Detected message appears, the charging system currently cannot connect to a wireless network. Confirm that your wireless network is operating properly; if not, correct the problem, touch Rescan, and then touch Configure to the right of the network name when it appears. If your wireless network is set to not broadcast or hidden SSID, touch Manually Connect to Wi-Fi. See section E, Set up Wi-Fi manually. If neither of these solutions work, your wireless network is probably out of range. To solve this, you can move your wireless router closer or add a wireless repeater to your network. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 1 (continued) B. Enter your password If the network you selected has been secured with a password, the keypad screen appears. This on-
screen keyboard works much like the keypad on a cell phone, in that the main keypad shows only lowercase letters, and you toggle to other keypad screens for uppercase letters, numbers, or symbols. Touch the icon to toggle between lowercase and uppercase letters. Touch the icon to switch to numbers and selected symbols, and the icon to switch back. Touch the icon to view additional symbols. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 15 Step 1 (continued) C. Set up the IP Most users do not need to change the settings shown on the IP Setup screen. The typical installation simply allows DHCP to assign the IP address and associated settings; in this case, all you need to do for this screen is touch Save. If you are an advanced user familiar with network setup, you may choose to specify a static IP address and associated settings. In this case, follow the steps shown below. Do you have a standard setup? If so, just touch Save. or Touch Static to specify an IP address for your home network. Go to below. Touch Save to finish IP setup. Go to D. Touch IP Address and then use the numeric keypad on the left to enter the address. Touch and enter the address for the Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS for your network. 16 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 1 (continued) D. Set up an HTTP Proxy Very few networks require you to set up an HTTP Proxy; this is an advanced option. In those rare cases that this is necessary, it is generally sufficient to select AUTO, which allows you to enter the URL and lets the system assign a port. To manually assign both the URL and port, choose MANUAL. To set up an HTTP Proxy:
Touch AUTO to enter the server address and let the system assign the port. Touch MANUAL to enter the server address and port. Once you finish entering HTTP Proxy settings, touch Save to complete setup and connect to your network. If you chose MANUAL, touch and enter the Server address (e.g., user:password@myproxy.com) and Port Number. If you chose AUTO, touch PAC and enter the PAC URL. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 17 Step 1 (continued) Once Network Setup is complete, your blink charging system automatically performs a network test, confirming that all of the settings are correct. tip If a network test fails, touch the name of the test to go directly to the setup step for that setting and correct it. Touch Continue to proceed to Step 2. If the Network Test fails:
Touch Skip to resolve the issue later. Touch Restart Setup to check and correct the network settings. Touch Retry Test to try again. If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, please contact blink support. 18 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 1 (continued) E. Set up Wi-Fi manually If you selected Manually connect to Wi-Fi, a keypad screen appears. Follow the steps below. Note: Check your wireless routers documentation to determine your networks security type. Use the keypad to type the name of your home network. Touch Next. Touch the arrows to scroll to your Wi-Fi networks security type. The options are OPEN, WEP, and WPA*. Touch Next to continue. Go to section B, Enter your password.
* Note: If your wireless network has WPA2 encryption, select WPA. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 19 Step 2 Time and Date Setup A. Set the time, date, time zone, and Daylight Savings You can choose to set the time and date on your blink charging system yourself, or allow the blink system to set it automatically. Note: If you use the automatic function (turned on by default), you will not be able to change the date and time fields unless you turn the automatic function off. To use the automatic feature, touch ON and skip to , or To turn off the automatic time/date feature and set the time and date yourself, touch OFF. Use the green arrows to scroll to the current hour and then touch Select or touch the minutes. Continue these steps to enter the minutes, AM or PM, month, day, and year. Touch Next to finish Step 2 and continue. Touch these arrows to scroll to your local Time Zone, for example, US/Pacific. Touch ON to have the time change for Daylight Savings automatically. 20 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 3 Electricity Rate Setup Entering your electric companys billing rates for energy use into your blink charging system helps you coordinate your vehicle charging times with the least expensive billing rates. It also enables your blink to estimate the cost of each charging session and provide additional information based on that figure. Most utilities provide two types of rate plan:
Single-rate plan: Energy costs are the same at all times and are billed at one flat rate Multiple-rate plan: Energy costs vary by time of day, weekday/weekend, and/or season Electricity is billed by the kilowatt-hour (kWh); you will enter the cost for one kWh for each rate you enter in your blink charging system. tip Before you start this step, we recommend that you get the most recent copy of your electric bill, which should list each billing rate available to you at your residence. Contact your electric company for more information. Touch:
Single Rate Plan if your utility bill shows one flat billing rate per kWh used. Go to section A, Set up a single-rate plan. Multiple Rate Plan if your utility bill shows two or more billing rates per kWh, depending on the Time of Use. Go to section B, Set up a multiple-rate plan. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 21 A. Set up a single-rate plan Using the arrows, enter the rate your utility charges for one kWh, e.g., $0.06163. Start with the first digit (the dollars place), which is usually zero
(0), and then touch Select or the next digit. Continue until you have entered every digit. Touch Next and proceed to Step 4. 22 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 3 (continued) B. Set up a multiple-rate plan For a multiple-rate plan, you will need to enter at least two billing rates for your electricity:
Standard or Off-Peak Rate this is the lower rate; you will enter this first Peak Rate higher rate, charged at those times when electricity demand is highest Use the green arrows to enter the standard (off-peak) rate your utility charges for one kWh. Starting with the first digit (the dollars place), scroll to the correct amount
(usually 0), and then touch Select or the next digit. Continue until you have entered every digit. Touch Next. Next, touch the arrows and Select to enter the start and stop times for the Standard/
Off-Peak rate and then touch Next. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 23 Step 3 (continued) Touch the green arrows to choose whether this rate applies on WEEK DAYS or WEEK ENDS and then touch Next. Touch the arrows and Select to enter the date range when this rate is in effect and then touch Next. 24 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 3 (continued) When you are finished entering rates, touch Next. Touch YES to enter another billing rate, or NO to finish entering rates. If you chose YES, repeat through
. Note that for multiple-rate plans, you must enter at least two rates. (You may choose to do this later, however.) Review the rates you entered. Touch DELETE to remove a rate. (You cannot delete the Standard Rate.) Touch EDIT to change a rate. To enter a new rate, touch ADD ANOTHER and then repeat through . OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 25 Step 4 Schedule Charging Times A. Schedule the desired charging times Your blink allows you to create a charging schedule for when you want to charge your vehicle. We recommend a charging schedule if you have a multiple-rate plan, so that you can take advantage of lower electricity rates without having to remember to plug in your car at the right time. For example, if you typically come home from work at 6:00, but your utility has a discount rate that starts at 9:00pm, scheduling a 9:00pm charge start time on weekdays allows you to simply plug in your vehicle when you get home and then forget about it. Your blink charging system will wait until 9:00 to start charging saving you money. You can schedule multiple time slots, too for example, after work on weekdays and during the early morning hours on weekends. Note: If your vehicle can also save a charging schedule, make sure that the schedule in your blink does not conflict with the vehicles schedule. Only enter a schedule in your vehicle or your blink not both. You can also choose to have charging start immediately when the connector is plugged into your vehicle. This works well when you have a single-rate electricity billing plan, where there is no cost advantage if you delay charging. Choose whether to create a charging schedule:
Touch I would like to create a charging schedule; go to section B to continue. or Touch Always charge immediately when I plug in;
proceed to Step 5. 26 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 4 (continued) B. Enter the desired charging times Enter time slots for when you want your blink charging system to be available for charging. Use the green arrows to enter the times to start and end each charging session, touching Select or the next field until you have finished entering the times. Touch Next. Touch the arrows to select WEEK DAYS or WEEK ENDS for this time slot. Touch Next to view all scheduled entries and/or add another entry. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 27 Step 4 (continued) The final Charging Schedule Setup screen lists all of the entries in your current charge schedule. Touch DELETE to remove an entry. Touch EDIT to make changes to an entry. If there are more than four entries, touch the green arrow to view more. Touch ADD ANOTHER to enter another charge time, and then repeat through on the previous page. When you have finished the charge schedule, touch Next to proceed to Step 5. 28 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Step 5 Creating a PIN (optional) You do not have to create a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to operate the blink charging system. However, we recommend that you create a PIN because it protects your blink systems settings, such as the charge schedule or billing rates, from unauthorized changes. We strongly recommend creating a PIN if small children will be in your home or if your blink charging system is in an easily accessible location, such as a carport. To create a PIN, use the keypad to enter the desired 4-digit number. Touch X to backspace, if necessary. tip If you do not want to create a PIN, touch Skip to exit the Setup process. After you enter your PIN, touch Continue, and then enter your PIN again to confirm it. Touch Continue again to exit the Setup process and begin using your blink charging system. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 29 Using blink The Main screen tells you at a glance about the status of your blink charging system, including whether it is plugged in, whether it is charging, and how soon charging will begin. The right side of the Main screen tells you about your most recent charging session, such as how much of the charge occurred during off-peak billing hours and the estimated cost of the charging session. When your vehicle is unplugged If your vehicle is unplugged, the Main screen displays this message until you plug in your vehicle for charging. If you set up a charging schedule, blink displays the next charges start time. 30 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 When your vehicle is plugged in Vehicle is waiting to charge If your vehicle is plugged in, you have a charge schedule set up in your blink charging system, and charging has not started yet, the following screen appears. tip If you like, touch either Start Charging Now or to Reschedule Charge. This wont change your normal charge schedule it is a one-time change. Vehicle is charging Once charging begins, you can touch Stop Charging and disconnect the vehicle for use, if necessary. Note: The Total Elapsed Time indicates the cumulative time that the vehicle has been drawing current from your blink. To determine whether your vehicle has a full charge, check its onboard charge status. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 31 Charging stopped The following screen appears when the end of the scheduled charging time has been reached. Note: This message does not indicate that your vehicle has a complete charge only that charging has stopped. Check your vehicles charge status to ensure that the charge is complete. 32 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 Charging cancelled The following screen appears when you cancel a charging session while it is in progress by touching Stop Charging. Your options are to restart the session where you left off (Resume Charging) or to schedule this charge to happen at a later time (Reschedule Charge). Rescheduling a charge only affects the current charging session it does not affect your normal charging schedule. Rescheduling a charge When you cancel a charge (by touching Stop Charging or unplugging your vehicle), you can choose to Resume Charging or Reschedule Charge for this session only.
(Rescheduling does not affect the future charge schedule.) To reschedule a charge, touch the green arrows and Select to enter the start time and date for your vehicles next charge. When you are done, touch Save Changes. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 33 Charging delayed or interrupted In some areas, your electric company may delay or interrupt charging, generally due to high demand for electricity. This can happen if you give your utility permission to balance their electrical load via demand response functions. Both of these screens indicate when charging will resume. This screen indicates that your blink charging system was waiting to start a scheduled charge, but your local electric utility delayed the charging session due to high electricity demand. This screen indicates that your blink charging system was charging your vehicle when your local electric utility interrupted the charging session due to high electricity demand. 34 OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 View your charging history Your blink charging system tracks every charging session, and can provide you with detailed information about the current months and the previous months usage, including estimated costs, how often and how long you charged your vehicle, estimated CO2 you saved with your vehicle and blink charging system, and more. Note: You must enter your electric companys billing rates at your residence in order for blink to calculate Charging Cost, Cost Per Charge, Price Per kWh, or % Off-Peak. Touch Stats to view information about your blink charging sessions during the current and previous month. Touch Previous Month to display last months information. Touch Current Month to return to this months information. OM0001_L2_C_P_CANv1 35 Change your blink settings Once your blink setup is complete, all changes are made from the Settings menu.

OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 11 Step 1 Network Setup One of the most important features of your new Blink charging system is its ability to communicate over a network. This enables subscribers to access many powerful features via the Blink Network, and with your permission, may allow your local utility company to communicate directly with your charging system. It also enables remote updates of your charging systems software and firmware. Your charging system is equipped to communicate over the Internet in two ways:
Wi-Fi If your home has a wireless network, your charging system can connect to it via Wi-Fi. The Network Setup screen may show your wireless network automatically, in which case you can just touch Configure next to your networks name. If you do not see your wireless network because it is set to not broadcast or hidden SSID, touch Manually Connect to Wi-Fi.
(If your wireless network is not displayed, it may be out of range of your Blink charging system.) Local Area Network (LAN) If your home has an Internet connection, but not a wireless network, your charging system can connect to the Internet via an Ethernet connection. An Ethernet cable connects your charging system directly to the LAN. The Ethernet port on your Blink charger is the center port on the bottom of the charger assembly, and is covered with a black, plastic cap. Simply pull back the cap and plug in the cable. CAUTION: The Ethernet port delivered with your Blink charging system is intended for indoor use only (such as in a garage). Contact the Blink Call Center or a qualified Blink installer for information on the additional requirements for a safe outdoor Ethernet connection. Notes:
Before you can set up the network for your Blink charging system, your home must already have an Internet connection, with either (a) a wireless network or (b) an available Ethernet port on a modem or router and an Ethernet cable that reaches from that port to the charging system. We recommend that you obtain the wireless network setup information for your home network before you start, such as the SSID and password. 12 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 1 (continued) A. Select your home network type If you see your Wi-Fi network, touch Configure next to its name to set up the connection. See section B, Enter your password. If you do not see your network, touch either:
Manually connect to Wi-Fi. See section E, Set up Wi-Fi manually. or Connect over LAN instead of Wi-Fi. See section B, Enter your password. If this No Wi-Fi Networks Detected message appears, the charging system currently cannot connect to a wireless network. Confirm that your wireless network is operating properly; if not, correct the problem, touch Rescan, and then touch Configure to the right of the network name when it appears. If your wireless network is set to not broadcast or hidden SSID, touch Manually Connect to Wi-Fi. See section E, Set up Wi-
Fi manually. If neither of these solutions work, your wireless network is probably out of range. To solve this, you can move your wireless router closer or add a wireless repeater to your network. 13 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 1 (continued) B. Enter your password If the network you selected has been secured with a password, the keypad screen appears. This on-
screen keyboard works much like the keypad on a cell phone, in that the main keypad shows only lowercase letters, and you toggle to other keypad screens for uppercase letters, numbers, or symbols. Touch the icon to toggle between lowercase and uppercase letters. Touch the icon to switch to numbers and selected symbols, and the icon to switch back. 14 Touch the icon to view additional symbols. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 1 (continued) C. Set up the IP Most users do not need to change the settings shown on the IP Setup screen. The typical installation simply allows DHCP to assign the IP address and associated settings; in this case, all you need to do for this screen is touch Save. If you are an advanced user familiar with network setup, you may choose to specify a static IP address and associated settings. In this case, follow the steps shown below. Do you have a standard setup? If so, just touch Save. or Touch Static to specify an IP address for your home network. Go to below. Touch Save to finish IP setup. Go to D. Touch IP Address and then use the numeric keypad on the left to enter the address. Touch and enter the address for the Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS for your network. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 15 Step 1 (continued) D. Set up an HTTP Proxy Very few networks require you to set up an HTTP Proxy; this is an advanced option. In those rare cases that this is necessary, it is generally sufficient to select AUTO, which allows you to enter the URL and lets the system assign a port. To manually assign both the URL and port, choose MANUAL. To set up an HTTP Proxy:
Touch AUTO to enter the server address and let the system assign the port. Touch MANUAL to enter the server address and port. Once you finish entering HTTP Proxy settings, touch Save to complete setup and connect to your network. If you chose MANUAL, touch and enter the Server address
(e.g., user:password@myproxy.com) and Port Number. If you chose AUTO, touch PAC and enter the PAC URL. 16 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 1 (continued) Once Network Setup is complete, your Blink charging system automatically performs a network test, confirming that all of the settings are correct. tip If a network test fails, touch the name of the test to go directly to the setup step for that setting and correct it. Touch Continue to proceed to Step 2. If the Network Test fails:
Touch Skip to resolve the issue later. Touch Restart Setup to check and correct the network settings. Touch Retry Test to try again. If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, please contact Blink support. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 17 Step 1 (continued) E. Set up Wi-Fi manually If you selected Manually connect to Wi-Fi, a keypad screen appears. Follow the steps below. Note: Check your wireless routers documentation to determine your networks security type. Use the keypad to type the name of your home network. Touch Next. Touch the arrows to scroll to your Wi-Fi networks security type. The options are OPEN, WEP, and WPA*. Touch Next to continue. Go to section B, Enter your password.
Note: If your wireless network has WPA2 encryption, select WPA. 18 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 2 Time and Date Setup A. Set the time, date, time zone, and Daylight Savings You can choose to either set the time and date on your Blink charging system yourself, or allow the Blink system to set it automatically. Note: If you use the automatic function (turned on by default), you will not be able to change the date and time fields unless you turn the automatic function off. To use the automatic feature, touch ON and skip to , or To turn off the automatic time/date feature and set the time and date yourself, touch OFF. Use the green arrows to scroll to the current hour and then touch Select or touch the minutes. Continue these steps to enter the minutes, AM or PM, month, day, and year. Touch these arrows to scroll to your local Time Zone, for example, US/Pacific. Touch Next to finish Step 2 and continue. Touch ON to have the time change for Daylight Savings automatically. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 19 Step 3 Electricity Rate Setup Entering your electric companys billing rates for energy use into your Blink charging system helps you coordinate your vehicle charging times with the least expensive billing rates. It also enables your Blink to estimate the cost of each charging session and provide additional information based on that figure. Most utilities provide two types of rate plan:
Single-rate plan: Energy costs are the same at all times and are billed at one flat rate Multiple-rate plan: Energy costs vary by time of day, weekday/weekend, and/or season Electricity is billed by the kilowatt-hour (kWh); you will enter the cost for one kWh for each rate you enter in your Blink charging system. tip Before you start this step, we recommend that you get the most recent copy of your electric bill, which should list each billing rate available to you at your residence. Contact your electric company for more information. Touch:
Single Rate Plan if your utility bill shows one flat billing rate per kWh used. Go to section A, Set up a single-rate plan. Multiple Rate Plan if your utility bill shows two or more billing rates per kWh, depending on the Time of Use. Go to section B, Set up a multiple-rate plan. 20 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 A. Set up a single-rate plan Using the arrows, enter the rate your utility charges for one kWh, e.g., $0.06163. Start with the first digit (the dollars place), which is usually zero
(0), and then touch Select or the next digit. Continue until you have entered every digit. Touch Next and proceed to Step 4. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 21 Step 3 (continued) B. Set up a multiple-rate plan For a multiple-rate plan, you will need to enter at least two billing rates for your electricity:
Standard or Off-Peak Rate this is the lower rate; you will enter this first Peak Rate higher rate, charged at those times when electricity demand is highest Use the green arrows to enter the standard (off-peak) rate your utility charges for one kWh. Starting with the first digit (the dollars place), scroll to the correct amount
(usually 0), and then touch Select or the next digit. Continue until you have entered every digit. Touch Next. Next, touch the arrows and Select to enter the start and stop times for the Standard/
Off-Peak rate and then touch Next. 22 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 3 (continued) Touch the green arrows to choose whether this rate applies on WEEK DAYS or WEEK ENDS and then touch Next. Touch the arrows and Select to enter the date range when this rate is in effect and then touch Next. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 23 Step 3 (continued) Touch YES to enter another billing rate, or NO to finish entering rates. If you chose YES, repeat through . Note that for multiple-rate plans, you must enter at least two rates. (You may choose to do this later, however.) Review the rates you entered. Touch DELETE to remove a rate. (You cannot delete the Standard Rate.) Touch EDIT to change a rate. To enter a new rate, touch ADD ANOTHER and then repeat through . When you are finished entering rates, touch Next. 24 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 4 Schedule Charging Times A. Schedule the desired charging times Your Blink allows you to create a charging schedule for when you want to charge your vehicle. We recommend a charging schedule if you have a multiple-rate plan, so that you can take advantage of lower electricity rates without having to remember to plug in your car at the right time. For example, if you typically come home from work at 6:00, but your utility has a discount rate that starts at 9:00pm, scheduling a 9:00pm charge start time on weekdays allows you to simply plug in your vehicle when you get home and then forget about it. Your Blink charging system will wait until 9:00 to start charging saving you money. You can schedule multiple time slots, too for example, after work on weekdays and during the early morning hours on weekends. Note: If your vehicle can also save a charging schedule, make sure that the schedule in your Blink does not conflict with the vehicles schedule. Only enter a schedule in your vehicle or your Blink not both. You can also choose to have charging start immediately when the connector is plugged into your vehicle. This works well when you have a single-rate electricity billing plan, where there is no cost advantage if you delay charging. Choose whether to create a charging schedule:
Touch I would like to create a charging schedule; go to section B to continue. or Touch Always charge immediately when I plug in;
proceed to Step 5. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 25 Step 4 (continued) B. Enter the desired charging times Enter time slots for when you want your Blink charging system to be available for charging. Use the green arrows to enter the times to start and end each charging session, touching Select or the next field until you have finished entering the times. Touch Next. Touch the arrows to select WEEK DAYS or WEEK ENDS for this time slot. Touch Next to view all scheduled entries and/or add another entry. 26 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Step 4 (continued) The final Charging Schedule Setup screen lists all of the entries in your current charge schedule. Touch DELETE to remove an entry. Touch EDIT to make changes to an entry. If there are more than four entries, touch the green arrow to view more. Touch ADD ANOTHER to enter another charge time, and then repeat through on the previous page. When you have finished the charge schedule, touch Next to proceed to Step 5. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 27 Step 5 Creating a PIN (optional) You do not have to create a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to operate the Blink charging system. However, we recommend that you create a PIN because it protects your Blink systems settings, such as the charge schedule or billing rates, from unauthorized changes. We strongly recommend creating a PIN if small children will be in your home or if your Blink charging system is in an easily accessible location, such as a carport. To create a PIN, use the keypad to enter the desired 4-digit number. Touch X to backspace, if necessary. tip If you do not want to create a PIN, touch Skip to exit the Setup process. After you enter your PIN, touch Continue, and then enter your PIN again to confirm it. Touch Continue again to exit the Setup process and begin using your Blink charging system. 28 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Using Blink The Main screen tells you at a glance about the status of your Blink charging system, including whether it is plugged in, whether it is charging, and how soon charging will begin. The right side of the Main screen tells you about your most recent charging session, such as how much of the charge occurred during off-peak billing hours and the estimated cost of the charging session. When your vehicle is unplugged If your vehicle is unplugged, the Main screen displays this message until you plug in your vehicle for charging. If you set up a charging schedule, Blink displays the next charges start time. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 29 When your vehicle is plugged in Vehicle is waiting to charge If your vehicle is plugged in, you have a charge schedule set up in your Blink charging system, and charging has not started yet, the following screen appears. tip If you like, touch either Start Charging Now or to Reschedule Charge. This wont change your normal charge schedule it is a one-time change. Vehicle is charging Once charging begins, you can touch Stop Charging and disconnect the vehicle for use, if necessary. Note: The Total Elapsed Time indicates the cumulative time that the vehicle has been drawing current from your Blink. To determine whether your vehicle has a full charge, check its onboard charge status. 30 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Charging stopped The following screen appears when the end of the scheduled charging time has been reached. Note: This message does not indicate that your vehicle has a complete charge only that charging has stopped. Check your vehicles charge status to ensure that the charge is complete. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 31 Charging cancelled The following screen appears when you cancel a charging session while it is in progress by touching Stop Charging. Your options are to restart the session where you left off (Resume Charging or Resume Schedule) or to schedule this charge to happen at a later time (Reschedule Charge). Rescheduling a charge only affects the current charging session it does not affect your normal charging schedule. Rescheduling a charge When you cancel a charge (by touching Stop Charging or unplugging your vehicle), you can choose to Resume Charging, Resume Schedule, or Reschedule Charge for this session only.
(Rescheduling does not affect the future charge schedule.) To reschedule a charge, touch the green arrows and Select to enter the start time and date for your vehicles next charge. When you are done, touch Save Changes. 32 OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 Charging delayed or interrupted In some areas, your electric company may delay or interrupt charging, generally due to high demand for electricity. This can happen if you give your utility permission to balance their electrical load via demand response functions. Both of these screens indicate when charging will resume. This screen indicates that your Blink charging system was waiting to start a scheduled charge. This screen indicates that your Blink charging system was charging your vehicle when your local electric utility interrupted the charging session due to high electricity demand. OM0001_L2_R_WM_USAv2.1 33 View your charging history Your Blink charging system tracks every charging session, and can provide you with detailed information about the current months and the previous months usage, including estimated costs, how often and how long you charged your vehicle, estimated CO2 you saved with your vehicle and Blink charging system, and more. Note: You must enter your electric companys billing rates at your residence in order for Blink to calculate Charging Cost, Cost Per Charge, Price Per kWh, or % Off-Peak. Touch Stats to view information about your Blink charging sessions during the current and previous month. Touch Previous Month to display last months information.
