No, it is not normal for all lights on the bridge sensor of the Scotsman UC2024 Series to blink in freeze mode. The document states that each push of the + or - button changes the indicator lights, with a blinking light indicating an adjustment in ice thickness. If all lights are blinking, it may indicate an issue or adjustment in progress rather than normal operation.
