Pushbuttons and Local Display
This section covers the optional local interface consisting of the LCD alphanumeric display and
pushbuttons. Operation of the SVI II AP Digital Valve Positioner as a local device is controlled
through the optional device-mounted pushbuttons and digital display, shown in Figure 7 on
page 17. Using the display you can read the input signal, valve position, and actuator pressure.
The display sequences from one variable to the next every 1.5 seconds.
Using the pushbuttons you can exit from operating mode at any time and step through a
menu structure to perform a wide range of manual operation, calibration, conguration, and
monitoring functions that are described later in this section.
ValVue is used to perform all diagnostics functions. The pushbuttons do not support diagnostics
functions.
The SVI II AP has two operational modes: Normal Operating mode and Manual mode and two
setup modes, Conguration and Calibration. The SVI II AP also has two modes for handling of
faults and power-up: Reset and Failsafe. When commissioning or checking a control valve with
SVI II AP fully installed the following steps are recommended:
• Change mode to Manual mode
• Examine and adjust all CONFIGuration items
• Enter Calibration mode
• Run STOPS to automatically calibrate stroke
• Run autoTUNE to set dynamic response
• Examine the device STATUS
• Introduce manual set point changes to verify dynamic performance

Pushbuttons
The local pushbuttons are located behind a hinged cover, directly below the display window. To
open the cover loosen the screw and swing the cover down. Always re-fasten the cover after
use to protect the pushbuttons from environmental contamination.
The three pushbuttons perform the following functions:
• Left Button - Marked with *, permits you to select or accept the value or parameter option
currently displayed.
• Middle Button - Marked –, permits you to move back through the menu structure to the
previous item in the menu or decrement the value currently shown in the digital display. When
used to decrease a displayed value, holding the button down causes the value to decrease
at a faster rate.
• Right Button - Marked +, permits you to move forward through the menu structure to the
next item in the menu, or to increment the value currently shown in the digital display. When
used to increase a displayed value holding this button down causes the value to increase at
a faster rate.
NOTE When an exclamation point (!) appears in the SVI II AP
display window, it indicates that there is instrument status
available.

Pushbutton Locks and Conguration-Lock Jumper
Before performing any of these functions with the local display you must rst ensure that the
pushbuttons are placed in the unlocked mode using ValVue. The positioner is provided in the
unlocked mode. See ValVue documentation for more details.
The SVI II AP o󰀨ers several levels of accessibility. It may be desirable, after initial setup, to
lock the pushbuttons so that the SVI II AP parameters cannot be inadvertently changed by the
buttons. Several levels of pushbutton locks are provided.
Table 2 - Pushbutton Lock Security Level
Level Access
Security Level 3 Allow Local Buttons: Buttons on the SVI II AP are fully enabled.
Security Level 2 Lock Out Local Calibration and Conguration: Use the buttons to perform operations in normal operating mode and manual mode. Do
not go to congure or calibrate mode.
Security Level 1 Lock Out Local Manual: Examine variables in normal operating mode but do not put the valve in manual operating mode. Access to calibrate
or congure modes is not available.
Security Level 0 Lock Out All Buttons: The buttons are disabled (level 0).

Hardware Conguration Lock
Additional security is achieved using the hardware conguration-lock jumper shown in Figure
8. When set to the secure position, shorting the two-pin header, conguration and calibration
are not permitted by the local interface or by remote communications. Pushbuttons, ValVue
and handheld are locked out, except to examine conguration, calibration, and position. This is
similar to Security Level 1 shown in the Pushbutton Lock Security Level table.
Figure 8- Connections to Electronics Module (via Terminal Board)
NOTE The PV (Process Variable is not used for the SVI II AP. The
Digital Input (DI) is activated using SMARTsAssistant, which
is downloaded at:
https://valves.bakerhughes.com/resource-center
The DI switch is a dry contact switch. As an example,the
switch may be utilized as a mechanical limit switchbackup. The
most common way to read the switch status is via the DTM
or DD. The input to the switch can be automated by sending
Device Variable 8 (DI) via CMD 9 or CMD 33 from a DCS.
