SAFEGUARD OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM Activation The system will remain dormant indefinitely as long as the heat pad is operating in the normal temperature range. If for any reason the heat pad is operated in an abnormal situation or condition which would otherwise have induced a rapid temperature rise high enough to constitute a hazard, the OVERHEAT SYSTEM should intervene by cutting off the supply current before the temperature reaches the point at which damage may occur. It is normal for the lead from the heat pad to the switch to become warm as this is part of the heated protection circuit extended to the switch. In the event of the OVERHEAT SYSTEM operating, the heat pad will cease to function.
