Inverter / Converter won't switch over when on Gen

So I've been having issues with my xantrex inverter / converter on working with my generator. No pass thru nothing, no charging. Nothing. Works fine on house and pole power. Just won't on the Gen set...

What kind of generator are you using? An inverter style generator should have a clean enough sine wave that the Xantrex should pass the power through without having to "apply a small load" to "clean up" the sine wave.

If you are using a loud, open frame contractor style generator, I can totally see this problem happening, and would consider it pretty normal.
