will require certain network rights. If this is a problem
for a network administrator, have them contact Alpine
Equipment Customer service for more information.
It is also recommended that the saw computer have
internet access. This will allow for remote access by
Alpine for troubleshooting and diagnostic evaluation.
2.6.3
USB Device
Sometimes called "jump drives" or "thumb drives", these
devices are necessary if the saw is not connected to a
network. The ALS 4.0 has a dustproof USB port mounted
on the front panel of the operator's console for these
devices, or any other USB device. The ALS 4.0 program
communicates with these devices in the same manner
as it would to a hard drive or network connection.

ALS 4.0 Home Screen-
Startup Procedure
When the ALS 4.0 is powered up it must be homed.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that there is not any lumber inside the saw before
selecting the "OK" button as the saw assembly will move up and
down, in and out and rotate while finding the hard stops.
This process will take place every time the machine is
turned on or power cycled.
NOTE
When CANCEL is selected the saw will go directly to the Main
screen of the program, but the saw will not be able to cut in either
AUTO or SEMI until it has been homed.
Figure 7
Once the ALS 4.0 homing process has completed the
Home Screen will display.
The top bar of the screen is present during most
operations of the program. It allows navigation to other
parts of the program without closing the screen being
used. QUIT can be selected from any screen where the
top bar is showing.
It is strongly advised to cancel out of all active screens and back to
the Main screen before quitting as there are times when this
procedure will save valuable in-process information.

Auto Screen

1) CURRENT STOCK shows the size of stock currently
chosen for running the job. This is very important
because it informs the computer what length stock
is being used for the job. Clicking or touching
the white box will bring up a screen that allows
selection of the proper stock length. The width and
grade of the stock are automatically determined by
the requirements of the piece being cut. The display
reads "MATCH ALL" when running multiple length/
grade/size definitions.
