Generator testrun during Shore power

Hi Techs,
If you program a periodical Generator test run, while the system is connected to the Shorepower, can you switch to use the Generator power?

Shore is on AC1IN
Gen is on AC2IN

@Harold

If you switch your inputs around then the inverter will ignore shore power on AC2 in favor of AC1 power (generator)

I know, but that's not what I want in normal shore operation.

AC IN 1 has priority over AC IN 2.

If both are connected the system will always use AC IN 1. To use AC IN 2 you need to disconnect AC IN 1 or you give a signal to the Quattro and program it to ignore AC IN 1 in that case.

But the easiest way would be to just swap them. What do you think is the problem with that in normal operation?

Thanks,

During normal operation, I don't want the generator to start due to the programmed 'conditions'
So ignore when AC1 excists

Maybe I just let the testing period idea go ;-)
