John:
I believe this is a bug in the software. There is a firmware upgrade that
is supposed to fix this.
Below the line is the "party line" on this problem:

Hi All,
The error messages you are referring to sometimes occur in early GTI
enabled SW inverters. Thanks to good reporting from the field, our tech
support crew was able to help engineering duplicate the problem
in-house.
As of Rev 4.2 (the GTI enabled version of the SW shipped since Dec 01)
a compatibility issue with some generators has been reported. The
symptom is nuisance inverter shut down/generator disconnect.
We introduced a software improvement that eliminates this issue in
production SW units earlier this summer. As of today, less than 15
confirmed cases of this problem have been reported by customers/dealers.
We have a chip set upgrade that can be field installed for
customers/dealers who experience this issue.
Because of the different products and revisions used, the words "SW
Series" were added after Revision 4.2 to help identify the product and
can also be used to help determine if you have the latest revision of
the SW inverter.
As the same symptoms can be caused by several system, set-up or
programming issues, we request that anyone who suspects they are
experiencing this issue contact our tech support team for a diagnosis,
it is most commonly something else, more easily addressed with menu
settings. If the problem is confirmed we will supply a free chip upgrade
to fix it.
Xantrex Certified Dealers may, as usual, use their priority Tech Support
number to get these chip sets where required.
Best,
Pagan
