Passive security system blinking light

I just purchased a 'previously owned' 2006 Ford Ranger. The PATS light on the dash blinks constantly when I lock and leave the vehicle. Is this normal? Will it run the battery charge down?

My 2000 Ranger has the same thing. Never wore down the battery.

Thanks, LilRinn1019 and cracked block, for your very welcome response. I don't know why I didn't notice this before... I bought the used truck a couple of weeks ago... Now, I can relax. You were very helpful! Ciao! Selwoc
