On a new installation of the ST 4000 tiller pilot. The display and tiller actuator seemed to work OK on the initial start up and for several hours sitting at the dock. Now however at power up the display beeps and shows a screen for a few seconds and then goes blank and beeps a couple of more times. The weather has been too rough to leave the dock (Southern Lake Michigan) and swing the compass. Could not swinging the compass for a week or so have triggered some error mode? It has power, because it shows a screen and beeps the first few seconds? Thanks in advance for your help. John S/V DragonFly

Low Voltage

Having the unit on for an extended period without swinging the compass can NOT cause any type of error mode. Your problem sounds like low voltage to the control head. If you have 12-14 volts going to the control head then it has failed. I would try getting a meter on this before going any further.
