What does it mean if the unit is flashing and beeping when the roller door opens. Is this normal or does it mean the unit needs a service.

If the Automatic Technology GDO-9 unit is flashing and beeping when the roller door opens, it may indicate that the opener requires servicing. The manual suggests that beeping and flashing could be a sign that a service is needed. For more details, refer to section 10.5 of the manual or contact a dealer for service.
