Can anyone suggest what to do? (we tried other things before the steel rod)

We're stumpped.


Thanks in advance,

Try using a non-reflective substace for your 'binders'

I think whats happening is that any pulse that can get into your steel tube just bounces off the walls until it reaches your sensor. Use black non-reflective plastic or something.

I've heard that heatshrink (wire wrap) works very well, also.
