C4
Janus C4, is a network-enabled
platform that allows you to manage
your buildings security systems from
one system; quickly, easily and in a
timely manner.
2 Door Blade
You can snap the Door Blade into place on
either type of controller to manage doors.
Each door Blade enables the connection of
two doors and two readers – plus a range
of door elements such as locks and exit
buttons. See page 12
Single-Blade Controller
The compact Single-Blade
controller is ideal when you only
have a small space available.
The device supports either one
Door Blade, one I/O Blade or
one OSDP Blade, and it can be
powered via PoE or a separate
external power supply.
See page 6
Janus C4
Server
The hardware is based on a modular architecture: two variants of
intelligent controller can be combined with snap-in Blades for either
door control or peripheral support.
Line Header
The line header is used for when you wish to
use RS-485 communication to controllers.
The line header is connected to the IP
network and allows communication for up
to 6 controllers on an RS-485 line, note that
no blades are supported by the line header.
See page 10

Page 3
Multi-Blade Controller
The Multi-Blade controller is
particularly suited to larger
systems and is designed to make
the most of your space. Each
controller can support up to four
Blades, enabling connection of
up to 8 readers / 8 doors (or 16
readers / 8 doors if using OSDP
blades) or a combination of doors
and I/O. See page 8
I/O Blade
The I/O Blade can be used when
you need to connect additional
peripherals. It enables the
connection of up to 8 volt-free
relay outputs and 8 supervised
inputs. The Blade can be used in
either Single-Blade or Multi-Blade
controllers. See page 16
Janus C4 Congurator Application
Installing and conguring a Janus C4 system is
straightforward with the Congurator application,
which will discover your controllers and allow you to
congure them easily. See page 23
Janus C4 Client
+ Congurator

Single-Blade Controller
The Single-Blade controller is designed to be located close to a door or when limited
space is available. It has an integral case which supports either one 2 Door Blade
(supporting 2 doors and 2 readers), or one I/O Blade (supporting up to 8 supervised
inputs and 8 volt-free relay outputs) or one OSDP blade (supporting up to 2 doors
and 4 readers).
The Single-Blade controller can be used with di󰀨erent power options: PoE, PoE+ or
one of a number of supported 12V external power supplies, please do not use mains
power and PoE or PoE+ together as the controller will use the rst available power
supply it nds when powering up, for example if PoE and external mains the PoE
will be seen rst and the external mains ignored. Disable PoE on the switch if not
required. In addition, an optional 4.2V lithium polymer battery can provide backup for
all connected equipment during power outages.
When selecting the most suitable power supply, calculate:
The total power consumption of the controller itself, its components and the Blade
tted. This will include:
▪Controller quiescent power – 3W, max 250mA
▪Battery charging power – up to 2W, max 167mA (when battery depleted)
▪Door Blade, if tted – 1W
▪I/O Blade, if tted – 4W
▪OSDP Blade, if tted – 1W
The total power requirements for all the locks, readers, etc. that will be connected
to the Blade.
