[RE-wrenches] Help me understand Gen vs XW

[jay peltz]

Hi William,

is the problem the actual connection or the AGS?

if its the actual connection, have you tried putting a load ( say 1000 watt heater) on the generator directly  to stabilize the volt/hz from the genny?
if for a test if nothing else.

The inverter would not maintain a transfer to the generator.  After about an hour on the phone with tech support, the tech searched previous calls and announced that there is a known incompatibility between the Kohler RES15 and a certain version of the XW firmware.  I was advised to upgrade the firmware.
