Introducing Janus C4

janus

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.
