Nope, generator power has preference. The ATS automatically shifts from SP to generator when power is available from both, not the other way around.

I believe both statements are true ...
There are mitigating factors that are dependencies for the outcome.
i.e. Do you have AGS controller or not? If so, what brand? How is the AGS wired and programmed. It matters greatly if you have AGS if it is wired before or after ATS (XTR SW). Both ways can be wired correctly.
If you have the Onan Controller wired before ATS (XTR SW) it will do exactly what Laco states, Genset will shut off after a minimum runtime. If it is wired after ATS (XTR SW) it will do exactly what the ACE states and Generator will continue to run as preference forever as long as AGS is in Manual mode. However should the power be restored and Genset be in AUTO or QUIET TIME mode the Genset will run until a HVAC or Low Bat condition is satisfied to tell it to stop. Which kind of proves the ACE's point that the ATS (XTR SW) by itself (no AGS) prefers the Generator over Shorepower.
