4.1. Wiring Guide
This video demonstrates the basic wiring procedure for the inverter, including connecting AC output and battery terminals.
Video 1: This video demonstrates general wiring steps for an Aninerel Solar Inverter, including connecting AC output and battery terminals. While the video features a 3KW 24V model, the wiring principles are similar for the 3600W 48Vdc inverter.
- Remove Port Cover: Carefully remove the bottom port cover of the inverter to access the wiring terminals.
- Connect AC Output: Connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires of your main AC output to the designated terminals.
- Connect Battery: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your battery bank to the corresponding battery ports on the inverter. Ensure correct polarity.
- Reinstall Port Cover: Once all connections are secure, reinstall the port cover.
Important: Always ensure the inverter is powered off before making any electrical connections. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any wiring procedures.
4.2. Battery Compatibility
The inverter is compatible with various battery types, including Lead-Acid (AGM, GEL, Flooded) and Lithium batteries. For Lithium batteries, the inverter supports communication with Battery Management Systems (BMS) for optimized charging and discharge.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Charging Priority Settings
The inverter allows you to configure how the battery bank is charged from different power sources. You can select from the following priorities:
- Solar Priority: The inverter prioritizes solar power for charging. AC input will only charge the battery when solar power is no longer available.
- Solar and AC Input: The inverter charges the battery bank from both solar and AC power simultaneously.
- Solar Only: The inverter will only charge the battery bank from available solar power.
5.2. Load Priority Settings
Control how your appliances are powered to ensure continuous operation. Options include:
- Solar Priority: The inverter uses solar power first. If solar is insufficient, it will compensate with AC input.
- AC Priority: The inverter uses AC input to power all loads. DC input is used only if AC input is unavailable.
- DC Priority: The inverter prioritizes inverting from solar first. If solar is not enough, it will convert from battery power and will only power loads from AC input once the low battery warning triggers.
