<\/a>But for the steady drone of traffic lazily drifting in from the invisible highway, there\u2019s precious little indication that we\u2019re somewhere in the heart of Johannesburg. In front of us \u2013 and seemingly stretching to the horizon which is only now, at about 6:30, beginning to blush with the rising sun \u2013 is a sprawling golf course lined with trees already ablaze with fiery autumnal splendour.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
It\u2019s a setting befitting the crowning of a king, which is exactly what CENTURION marketing and sales director Richard Rohman will be officiating in just a couple of hours.<\/div>\n
For the moment, however, the Johannesburg Country Club in Woodmead is a hive of activity as staff from CENTURION and Events Company Contact Media scurry to get the venue ready for the coronation ceremony of what we are calling the heir to the throne of access automation, the SECTOR II high-volume traffic barrier.<\/div>\n
The guests \u2013 among them architects, property developers and installers of security development – start to arrive at 9am, after enjoying some coffee and conversation, sit down to a hearty breakfast, lovingly prepared by the gastronomical artistes <\/i>of the Johannesburg Country Club.<\/div>\n
Shortly after, Richard finally takes to the stage, accompanied by the sounds of royal trumpets that echo through the club\u2019s Kingfisher Hall.<\/div>\n
\u201cOur tale begins, as these things often do,\u201d Richard booms, \u201conce upon a time in a kingdom far, far away\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/a>
\nWhile Richard keeps the audience spellbound as he traces the original SECTOR\u2019s meteoric rise to glory as the valiant guardian of housing estates, airports, car dealerships, office parks and even warehouses, the real focus is on the six beauties that flank him on either side.<\/div>\n
A direct descendant of its predecessor, and yet superior in so many ways, the SECTOR II is sleeker, harder, better, and has been adorned with a crown as is befitting a king.<\/div>\n
Richard spends some time on the exceptional aesthetics of the SECTOR II \u2013 highlighting the sleek, attractive design, stylish powder-coated aluminium lid (which includes a condensation shield) and three stunningly beautiful colours in which the enclosure is available \u2013 before moving on to the optimised layout.<\/div>\n
<\/a>
\nThe electronics carrier has been moved to the top of the barrier, Richard explains, for easy access. It is now at the perfect working height and looks much neater, incorporating cable channels and dedicated, independent switches for AC and DC isolation. Additionally, the all-important SECTOR controller neatly clips into its holder but is still hinged so that it can be tilted up to expose components underneath. The battery is housed in its own easily-accessible pocket, while the charger is tucked away neatly underneath the controller.<\/div>\n
<\/a>
\nThe access door is in the spotlight next, with a brief treatise on its clever design allowing it to be easily unclipped from the cabinet, and an illustrative animated video clip to drive the message home.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some 20 minutes later, and our guests have been given a thorough education in what makes the SECTOR II superior to its predecessor, and what makes it stand out head and shoulders above the competition.<\/div>\n
For your edification, here\u2019s the executive summary:<\/div>\n
