Schneider Electric XW6848+ Inverter Won't Qualify Generator Input

New install and everything works good. I attempted to test AC generator and the inverter will not qualify it. I let the generator run for almost a half hour and still not qualifying. I checked the AC settings and they appear correct. The Generator frequency stays at 62 HZ and the voltage on AC2 is 236.6. AC2 L2 voltage is at 118.9 and AC2 L1 voltage is at 118.2 which seems normal. The frequency setting to qualify is
from 54.5 - 65 Hz.
Any info appreciated perhaps I may be missing something. I notice the AC2 Transfer delay is set at "36"....I assume that number is in seconds. I am attaching screen shots of the settings and actual run data from the inverter.
One more question....does the Grid input have to be disconnected before the generator can be online? Perhaps that is necessary to work. Maybe Grid and Generator power can't be on at the same time. Guess what.....that was the problem....I forgot to disconnect the grid input for the test....... 



Thanks in advance.

you might could try AC priority....if you set it to 2 generator input, does it still do the same thing

In the olden days--A good test was to put a 100 Watt lamp on the genset output (or two for a 120/240 VAC genst, one on L1 to N and a second on L2 to N). Some gensets, with no loads, tended to have voltage and frequency stability issues. Once there was a load, then they would settle down.
Now that it is difficult to find 100 Watt filament lamps--Perhaps some 50-100 Watt rough service lamps for drop cords? Seem to be somewhat available in filament bulbs. Or use a small electric heater...

It is not just the freq range setting, it is also the rate of change as the inverter phase locking circuit has a narrow bandwidth.
