Altair Hypercam 1600M Pro TEC Sensor Analysis fails

I've done some testing as best I can and I've posted a video on YouTube of the Sensor testing I have done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz5dIIM0Dpk&t=18s
The first test is on a GP-CAM 290M (my Guide Scope) - Test succeeds at 2:24 with no problem. So using the same process and light source (Android Tablet) I tried to run the same on the Hypercam 1600M - everything goes fine until 5:45 when it asks for the sensor to be uncovered. I uncover it and place it back on the light source, I give it some time, but it does not detect the change. I do this a number of times, 6:38 onwards. In the end I increase the light source level around 7:48 and get it to proceed but then it freaks out.
Something is not right. I'm not saying that the testing conditions are laboratory perfect but the GP-CAM passes every time. I based my testing on this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AidhxeAJJ3s&t=13s which seems to work fine.
Kind Regards
