<p>Dave,</p>
<p>The problem may not be with the generator or the inverter function of the Outback inverter, but rather with the charger section of the Outback which is activated whenever there is generator input.</p>
<p>I had a similar experience with an off-grid customer in Springfield VT. He has a traditional FX or VFX set-up that ran fine for years. Then he changed-out his LP cooking range to one with electronic brains and added UPS units to his computer. Running with normal inverter power was fine, but if the generator was turned on, the cook-top display went haywire and the UPS units stopped working. Suspicion was immediately directed to the generator, but if the system was placed in bypass, everything worked fine with the generator power...even with a cheap portable generator hooked-up temporarily .</p>
<p>Conclusion was that the Outback charger must be introducing some unwanted electronic noise. The customer decided to live with it rather than try to fix it. My recommendation would be some L-C line filtering tuned to 60 Hz to reduce electronic noise. Try your system in bypass.</p>
