I had a similar problem with the same type system. When the generator would be called for it would turn on and the XW would reject it. This is also a Y2K system. It would work fine if the generator was started manually. When I put a power quality meter on the generator output I got really wild freq. readings. This LP generator has 7000 hours on it and the customer bought it on-line from who knows where.
