The patented Nemtek Dual Action Tension Sensor DATS3 can detect a change of tension in the fence wire and uses the electric fence monitoring circuit to create an alarm condition on the energizer.
The Dual Action Tension Sensor increases the likelihood of an intruder being detected as it detects the lifting, pressing or forcing of the fence wires. It is equipped with a dual detection system to ensure that an alarm is triggered and reduces the possibility of tampering.
The Dual Action Tension Sensor DATS3 is used with galvanised and aluminium fence wires with a detection range (straight line) of up to 50m.
Suitable for the heavier gauge wires used in freestanding fencing.
Product Code: TS-DATS3XL
FEATURES OF THE DUAL ACTION TENSION SENSOR:
- Is paired up with the Hybrid Compression Spring CNT3HB or CNT4HB. This is so that the tension in the fence wires can be adequately maintained
- Detects a change in tension on a fence line
- Detects an open circuit at its first-stage trigger
- Detects a dead short at its second-stage trigger
- Constructed from robust material to suit all wire types up to 2.5mm
- Easy to install and retrofit onto most existing Nemtek electric fences

What Our Customers Say
I was very suspicious because of the low prices across all of their products, but they definitely proved me wrong — 2 days delivery time from JHB to a rural town. Definitely worth buying at this store!
What a pleasure to do business with Steve and his team at IOTrend! Fast and friendly service. They keep you informed and respond quickly. I have dealt with them several times and they have consistently provided excellent service.
They had the items I wanted in stock and I was able to collect within an hour of ordering online. Reasonably priced and efficient service.
IOTrend is top notch. Service is first world. Steve went the extra mile with my delivery turnaround time and was very helpful with advice on the energizer. Pricing very competitive. Highly recommend this company for your next purchase.
I was browsing on Sunday for better prices and found the items on IOTrend much cheaper. There is a WhatsApp service on the website — although it was a Sunday, Kobus answered the message. Excellent service.
After-sales service 10/10. Called for assistance — the driver collected the controller board the next morning and delivered it back by midday. Walked me through additional troubleshooting with calls and pictures. Gate motor back in service.
I needed a lithium battery urgently and contacted Devon at IOTrend. We closed the sale by 16:00 and I had it delivered to my home by 16:30. Outstanding.
Fantastic service. After receiving a faulty product (manufacturing issue) I had a replacement within 2 days. I stay in a rural area and they made every effort to help me get this resolved. Also the best prices everywhere I have compared so far!
