 Ignoring AC input will force a Multi or Quattro into inverter-mode on certain conditions, even though there is  mains or generator power available. For example to force the system to run 100% on battery and solar power.
-Ignoring the AC input was first introduced on the Virtual switch tab and can also be made with Assistants. Note that it is much easier to use the Virtual switch to configure this.

 ==== Making AC Ignore by using the Generator start/stop and the General flag assistant ====
 The most common (or only?!) system where below assistant configuration makes sense is an AC-coupled PV installation, using Multis or Quattros with the old-type microprocessor (the 7 digit firmware numbers starts with 19 or 20, instead of 26 or 27).
