Not contridicting what Mike said, but according to my manual, continous beeps mean 1 of 5 things:
Critically low oil in the engine tank
Oil pump electrical failure
Overspeed
High engine temp
Low block water pressure
or, If you get a single beep, then continuous beeps after the Guardian takes over, that means battery voltage out of limits.
If I were you, I'd take Mike up on his offer and have it checked asap.
Best of luck!
