JANUS is a short range UHF radio controlled initiation system designed to initiate shock tube. JANUS is ideal for:
a. b. c. Short range demolitions, Specialist demolitions, and Explosive method of entry/breaching. 1-2. 1-3. 1-4. 1-5. 1-6. The system has 16 selectable channels with 10 individual addresses available per channel. The transmitter has the ability to initiate a single receiver, a group of receivers collectively or all bonded receivers (on the same channel) simultaneously. JANUS utilizes radio signals to transmit firing commands from a transmitter to a receiver(s). If signals are being intentionally or unintentionally jammed, JANUS has the ability to manually initiate shock tube by docking an armed receiver directly onto a transmitter. Each system comprises of one transmitter and any number of receivers. Receivers are dumb until bonded to a transmitter;
receivers can be bonded to other transmitters or zeroised if required. Receivers are designed to be expendable and should be placed on or near charges in order so that they are destroyed. JANUS receivers are not designed to be used more than once on a live explosive task. Once a receiver has been used to initiate an explosive, and has not been destroyed, it must not under any circumstance be used again for another live explosive charge. JANUS is designed to operate with shock tube with inner diameters between 0.8mm to 1.3mm. It should also be noted that shock tube should be cut perpendicular or at 90 degrees cleanly otherwise reliability can be affected.

JANUS is designed for maximum reliability and safety in all operating environments. When switched <ON> the transmitter and receiver perform a Built in Test, if a fault/error is detected the faulty device will automatically switch to a safe non-operational state (suspend mode), displaying the error code. The press of two separate buttons is required to transmit a firing command. Each transmitter contains a unique embedded registration code; only bonded receivers will react to a command from a bonded transmitter. Dual processors are incorporated in the transmitter in order to ensure dual verification of transmitted code. A comprehensive error checking system is employed on the radio transmission, involving a data comparison and validation process. This ensures the integrity of all detonation commands and hence a high safety standard. 1-13. A safe to arm period of ten (10) seconds is incorporated within the receiver prior to arming and is indicated by a flashing green LED. 1-14. When the receiver is armed the arming capacitor is fully charged and responsive to firing commands from the transmitter. During this period the receiver continuously monitors itself, if there is a safety discrepancy the capacitor is automatically discharged through a separate discharge path from the firing circuit. 1-15. Dual processors are incorporated in the receiver in order to ensure dual verification of received code and manage independent safety breaks.

The receiver arming capacitor automatically discharges on power down. If at any time a fault within the transmitter or receiver is detected, the faulty device will display an error code and place itself into a safe state.

The system permits multiple breaching teams to explosively enter a target, using their own independent firing system without interference. Speed of set up, single and collective initiation and a unique shock tube connector give the user an enhanced operational capability over traditional EMOE firing systems. 2-2 In harsh RF environments, JANUS has the ability to fire shock tubing directly from the receiver unit with no RF interface. Receivers are selected from stock and individually bonded via manual connection with the transmitter unit prior to deployment.

Post firing drills are conducted in order to safely conduct post firing inspection of target area and when required recover equipment. Prior to approaching the target areas ensure the transmitter is switched <OFF>, accounted for and secure. Approach and inspect target area in accordance with Unit Standard Operating Procedures. Common sense must apply and safety must always take priority. The following situations may be found at the target area:
5-5 5-6 5-7 Charge initiated and receiver destroyed:
Charge initiated and receiver not destroyed: Switch receiver
<OFF> and disconnect shock tube from receiver. The receiver is not to be used on any further live explosives and is best destroyed in accordance with and as directed in Unit Standard Operating Procedures. Charge not initiated and receiver not destroyed: If a Blind is suspected, wait mandatory/appropriate times, in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures. Once time is up approach the receiver from a safe direction and inspect. Switch receiver
<OFF>, treat complete system (receiver and charge) as a blind. Destroy blind in accordance with Unit Standard Operating Procedures. NOTE: This manual should not be used as a prime reference when it comes to the recovery or handling of blinds or misfires. Extreme care must be exercised and Standard Operating Procedures followed for dealing with receivers and explosives in this situation. JANUS receivers are not designed to be used more than once on a live explosive task. Once a receiver has been used to initiate a live explosive, and has not been destroyed, it must not under any circumstance be used again for another live explosive charge.
