I bumped the settings up to 10 AAC to speed the results up, as being on 7 AAC takes about 5 to 10 minutes to do what it does instantly on 10 AAC.
Generator is a 9.5kW EFI (Electric Fuel Injection) can surge up to 11.5kW.

Just prior to the charging rate dropping the genny made an odd sound I have not heard my genny make before.  I believe it made it twice.

Yeah, loading the generator up with amperage that is faster than the display can show. I have caught it one time go from 20 something to 55A before the Rosie kicked it off with the generator surged as you hear when I had it set at 7 AAC. I can see it start to peg the generator out each before Rosie kicks it off as there is a status bar on the generator to show how much it's pushing.

Have you tried it in GRID mode rather than GENERATOR mode?  I am grid tied, though I use most power thru the Rosie and batteries.  I exercise my generators (2kw & 3kw Honda's) 3-4 times a year, plugged into the Rosie w/a small load and the charger on.  I keep Rosie in GRID mode and get full output of the generator into Rosie, based on what I set for the breaker input.  If I exceed what the generator can output, it will surge and disconnect as in your video.  I've found a sweet spot for each generator, aprox 2 ACC below their rated output, that runs smoothly.  I am running PRODUCTION firmware Rosie=25.9.9 and MNGP2=25.10.12. Hope you get it working well or your needs.

I've tried that, still does it.

What Rosie code version is this? I will send it on to engineering

Wonder if the efi function is interfering/fighting with Rosie.

There is a newer PRODUCTION firmware for Rosie, 25.11.13.8 . Perhaps download and try this newer version. This pic was current as of yesterday for production software for my MNGP2, Hawks Bay, & Rosie.

It doesn't matter, beta and production units can both run either the beta or production firmware.

Is that a beta version or a production version of the code?   None of these recent version numbers is listed in either Firmware thread just above this thread in the forum...

Midnite has not been updating the Firmware Threads lately, or I should say, it's been hit and miss.  The only way to really know is run the app every month and see if something new pops up!  I did this 2 days ago and found a new Production firmware for both the Hawks Bay & Rosie, which were not posted in the Firmware threads.
