2.5 Installing the EHO Actuator on the Valve
The actuator will be bolt-mounted directly to a bracket or adaptor that will be bolted
securely to the mounting flange top works of the valve.
2.5.1 Check to see that the dimensions of the bracket or adaptor are suitable for use
with the valve mounting flange and stem.
2.5.2 Check valve direction of rotation and the actuator direction of rotation to see
they match (for example: CW = close, CCW = open).
2.5.3 Check to see the actuator and valve are in the same relative position (see 2.3.3).
2.5.4 Check all mounting surfaces, they must be clean and free of debris to permit
proper fit up.
2.5.5 Prior to mounting, grease the coupling bore and the bore of the actuator.
NOTE:
Do not apply grease to the mounting flange surfaces on the valve or the adaptor.
May 2015
2.5.6 Install the stem key and grease it (keys may be held in place with tape).
2.5.7 Install the coupling onto the stem and stem key.
2.5.8 Install the coupling key and grease it.
2.5.9 Carefully align the coupling and key to the bore and keyway in the actuator
and slide the actuator onto the coupling until the adapter (bracket) bottoms
out on the valve bonnet.
NOTE:
Ensure the adapter seats out on the valve bonnet, without interference, before
installing fasteners.
2.5.10 Use the required fasteners to firmly attach the adapter to the valve bonnet.
Tighten the fasteners to their manufacturer’s recommended maximum torque
(dry or lubricated).
2.6 Setting the Stroke Limit Stops
2.6.1 The Bettis G or E-Series Actuator is provided with bi-directional travel stops
allowing 80° to 100° total travel (+/- 5° adjustment at each end of the 90°
stroke).
2.6.2 Actuators are shipped from the factory with the travel stops adjusted for
approximately 90° rotation. Generally, it is necessary to make slight travel
stop adjustments once the actuator is installed on the valve. Refer to the valve
manufacturer's recommendations for specific requirements.
2.6.3 When the valve has internal stops, the actuator stops must be set so that the
load is applied to them, not the valve stops.
2.6.4 If adjustment is required, use the hand pump to move the actuator off the stop
at the Fail-safe Position before attempting to turn the adjusting screw (refer to
4.4, Hand Pump Operation).
Installation
11
Section 2: Installation
May 2015
CAUTION
Do not adjust actuator’s stop at the Fail-safe Position, with the spring force against the
stop. Always use the hand pump to move the actuator off the stop before attempting to
turn the adjusting screw.
2.6.5 With the Fail-safe Position stop set, use the hand pump to move the actuator
to the other end of the stroke and check the stop position. If adjustment is
required, slowly open Manual Bypass Valve (Lockable) (19) just enough to allow
the actuator to spring-return off the stop before adjusting.
2.7 Hydraulic Fluid
Bettis Electro-Hydraulic Operated actuators are shipped with the reservoir filled to
operation level. Before commissioning and periodically afterwards, check to see the
fluid level is correct. The oil fill cap is provided with a dipstick marked with a green and a
red mark. When the optional accumulator is drained of fluid and the actuator is at Failsafe Position, the oil should be at the green mark. The reservoir also has a sight gauge
for the purpose of seeing fluid is present. Should fluid need to be added or replaced, use
only factory approved hydraulic fluid.

The following is a functional description of the Bettis Electro-Hydraulic Actuator and a
brief explanation of the main components. Throughout this explanation, numbers which
appear in [ ] correspond to components labeled on the wiring diagram.
Numbers in ( ) correspond to components labeled on the schematic diagram. Information
in (( )) is descriptive.
NOTE:
Refer to the Hydraulic Schematic specified for the actuator being worked on to
determine what options were supplied.
5.4.1 Power Stroke ((OPEN/CLOSE))
During a normal power cycle, the motor (2) drives the hydraulic pump (3). Hydraulic fluid
from the pump is forced into the Actuator’s (1) Hydraulic Power Cylinder and moves the
actuator to the OPEN/CLOSE position which compresses the spring in the Spring-Return
Module.
Installation and Operation Manual
VA001-507-32 Rev. 0
5.4.2 Spring-Return Stroke
In an on/off application, the normally close solenoid valve (6) is energized open by the
controller. The hydraulic fluid flows back to reservoir (4) from actuator cylinder forced
by the spring in the Spring-Return Module. The spring forces the actuator to the Fail-safe
Position.
5.4.3 ESD Operation ((Optional))
In an ESD application, the ESD 2-way normally open solenoid valve (17) is constantly
held energized, as long as a customer supplied electrical ESD signal is present. In case
of electrical ESD signal loss, ESD Solenoid Valve (17) will de-energize. Hydraulic fluid will
flow from
the actuator’s hydraulic cylinder, forced by the Spring-Return Module, through speed
control (7), through normally open ESD 2-way valve (17) and return to the reservoir (4).
5.4.4 Electric Fail-safe ((Optional))
The EHO Control can be configured to stroke the actuator to Fail-safe Position upon loss
of electrical power.
1. Close isolation valve (8) to isolate the Solenoid Valves if Valve (17) is in Failed
open mode.
2. Turn the handle of isolation valve (22) 180° to the right, the Accumulator will
