primary and backup generator on Quattro

Hi, For a high availability off grid site we need to be able to bring in a temp generator if the main generator dies. Is it possible to have a primary generator on AC1 in and a backup generator on AC2 in. If the generator on AC1 dies will the system pickup AC2 or ignor it? Or should the primary generator be on AC2 and backup on AC1? OR should we just install a two way switch on AC1? I have been told it will not run with the temp generator plugged into AC2-IN


Cheers

Shure this can work, however you will need to add some logic to start the second generator.

by 'Assistants' and / or extra relay switches

You can have two generators. The Quattro will automatically select the input which is up.
AC-IN one is selected if both inputs are up..
