Overview

The provided document is an installation manual for the Blink Series 6 EV Charging Stations. This manual outlines the requirements, parts, and procedures for installing both single and dual pedestal mount, as well as wall/pole mount configurations of the charging stations.

Function Description:

The Blink Series 6 EV Charging Station is designed to provide electric vehicle charging capabilities. It is intended for installation on a dedicated electrical circuit and is capable of operating on either 240V or 208V circuits. The station is designed to draw a maximum of 30 Amps and requires three electrical supply wires (two hot, one ground, no neutral). All data communication for the station is wireless, relying on cellular communication, eliminating the need for data cabling. The manual emphasizes compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and recommends consulting a licensed contractor or electrician for installation.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Power Requirements:
    • Dedicated electrical circuit.
    • Protection with a 40 Amp 2-pole common trip circuit breaker (non-GFCI type).
    • Maximum draw: 30 Amps.
    • Operating voltage: 240V or 208V.
    • Electrical supply wires: Three (two hot, one ground, no neutral). Wire size must meet NEC guidelines for a 40A circuit breaker supplying 30A current.
  • Communication: Wireless (cellular communication required, no data cabling needed).
  • Power Sources (Wiring Diagram):
    • 208 VAC three-phase, Delta system, Center tap grounded (use only two phases).
    • 208 VAC three-phase, Wye system (use only two phases).
    • 240 VAC single phase.
    • For delta systems, connect only to a center-tapped grounded transformer where ground is bonded (e.g., figure C line A and C in the diagram) to maintain constant voltages.
  • Dimensions (Pedestal Mount):
