Automatic Restart Functionality

When a charge session is interrupted due to a temporary error condition, the Blink Product will automatically restart the charge session when the temporary error condition is resolved. The status indicator light will remain flashing RED until the error condition is resolved.

  • Temporary error conditions include: Over Current, Over Voltage, Under Voltage, Over Temperature.
  • For Over Current (OC) conditions: The charge session will be stopped while the OC condition occurs. After recovery from OC condition for 30 seconds, the Blink Product will automatically restart the charge session (for 3 times).
  • When a charge session stopped by the Charge Circuit Interrupting Device (CCID), the Blink Product will attempt to restart the charge session after 15 minutes (for 3 times).

Power Outage Recovery
When power is reapplied after a power outage, the Blink Product will restart the charge session automatically (if the Resume Charge After Reboot setting is On) with a delay ranging from 120 to 720 seconds. The randomized delay is introduced to avoid impacting the utility grid if multiple charging stations are in the same area and attempt to resume their charge sessions simultaneously.
