Although not recommended, if using an automatic generator starting

voltage, do not set the LBCO Delay to less than the amount of time it takes the generator to start and connect.

Otherwise – in both of the scenarios above – inverter output turns off before the generator automatically starts, causing the battery voltage to recover slightly. This may then stop the Xanbus AGS from starting the generator or result in the Freedom SW cycling on and off multiple times before the generator automatically starts.
