Set you bed temp for 138C and check again. Probably just have to use a higher value even though its just an inflated number, to get 110C on the bed. I use 110C on blue painters tape and works like a dream!

For my SD2, if I set the bed temperature over 105C, the head associated with the head will trigger the 'heat alert' and the machine will shutdown.

on my Makerbot 2X the print will not stick to the bed. I have leveled the bed and double checked 2 times so I thought I would check the bed temp.
it is set at 110°c
so I bought the below meter.
using a piece of kapton to hold the t/c to the Kapton on the bed.
here are my readings
build chamber 32°c
bed center 87°c
back left 82°c
back right 83°c
front left 82°c
front right 84°c
you can not PID tune a Makerbot so I am waiting on tech support.
