1 Introduction
This Instruction Manual describes how to properly install the Blink Model IQ-200 EVSE Charger, referred to
as the “Blink Charger” throughout this document. Contact the Blink Support Center at 1-888-998-BLINK for
troubleshooting and more detailed technical questions.
• Unauthorized modication to the Blink equipment voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
The Blink Level 2 EVSE Charger specied in this document is designed for the U.S. market to charge plug-in
electric vehicles (PEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It provides AC Level 2 charging that effectively
shortens charging time for typical EVs, when compared to a Level 1 cordset EVSE unit.
