Problems with Autodarkening

Thanks guys. I took it back to Princess Auto today. I love this place! No receipt, no packaging, but in as new shape - No problem, not working for you, here's your refund.
Went down the road to Air Liquide and bought a Miller Digital Performance.
Wonderful! Amazing how much more fun TIG is when you're not flinching away from expected flashes!
Thanks for all the help.
 
Jim, my number 1 helmet is a Miller Elite. Probably similar circuitry to your new one. It responds to flickering IR, plus a few other factors, so it seems to do a good job.
 
Glad you were able to return the old one and get a refund. You're right, a good helmet makes all the difference in the world. When I finally got a decent helmet, I was actually able to produce halfway decent welds. Before then, not so much.
 
Glad you fixed it right. I got my Jackson hood almost 30 years ago... runs on 2 AAA batteries. Still reliable, still my favorite!
