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).
