Any of your friends own an oscilloscope?
Is it possible you are getting voltage drop when the compressor starts? A good Fluke meter will measure minimum voltage. I would do some testing with minimal load on the new genset.
Something is definitely wrong.

The generator is an 8000 watt Firman.
The electrician who tested out my concerns after the generator panel was installed reported no voltage drop on that circuit. I had initially thought about that when the problem arose but the volt are there. The problem doesn't seem to change depending upon load. Even if every other circuit is idle the freezer sounds its alarm. What is strange however, is that sometimes it will just start and run as normal for a while. Then five minutes later it will be beeping and short cycling.
Appreciate the questions and suggestions.
