Hi Greg,

We have had some irregularly occuring trouble with the power supply board
of the amplifiers on our Delta V Plus. This was because we have a
configuration with 10 amplifiers and the required power was at the maximum
of what the board could provide. Whenever it failed, the cup reading was
at maximum, too. In that case, one of the LEDs on the power supply board
was off. Maybe the power supply board could be something worth checking?
In our case, we have gotten a more powerful one from Thermo.

All the best,
Peter
