Blink EVSE Programming

Tips

• If you don't get a calibration screen the first time you power up the Blink

  • it will be a nuisance programming with the display misaligned with the entry finger presses

  • power off the Blink, and power on again to access the calibration screen, which is clearly labeled

• After you have connected the Blink to your home network, you can access all other programming via your browser, using the http://192.168.0.n format, where n is the number assigned for the Blink. It is much easier to program using your browser. The LAN Web Server Locator can help you locate the Blink.

• If the charging period you are programming ends at midnight, use 11:59 p.m. instead. There is a bug if a period ends at 12:00 a.m.

• In order to get 80% charging at all off-peak power intervals

  • program the Leaf charge schedule to schedule at all times to 80%

  • program the Blink to charge at all off-peak intervals. The Blink has a more capable charging schedule, but only the Leaf can limit the charge to 80%.

• Don't forget that the Blink charge schedule will need to be updated 4 times a year to get the optimum off-peak charging schedules.
