Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Scope
This manual is offered as a guide to be used along with locally approved and safe
practices to install, operate, service and maintain the Bettis EHO Actuator. Carefully
follow the instructions in this manual and make sure you install the actuator correctly
and according to your requirements.
1.2 General Information
1.2.1 Overview
The Bettis EHO is a self-contained, quarter-turn, valve actuator that combines proven
technologies from Emerson’s Actuation Technologies. The actuator has been designed
for
critical shutdown applications where reliability is crucial. The EHO utilizes a dependable
spring-return actuator for the Fail-safe stroke combined with an integral hydraulic power
pack and electronic control module.
Section 1: Introduction
May 2015
The EHO accepts a wide range of single-phase, three-phase or DC power sources, also
solar panels are available for areas without electrical power. A hydraulic hand pump can
be used to stroke the actuator during commissioning or in the event of an emergency
power loss.
Electronic modules are contained within an explosion proof, IP68 enclosure and all
electronic components are isolated from the customer connection terminals.
The EHO provides a compact design with actuator and control components that have
been field proven for decades in critical service applications.
1.2.2 Product Attribute
• Easy installation – Bettis™ EHO actuator is a totally self-contained system and
designed for compactness and adaptable to new or existing valves.
• Bettis™ G-Series hydraulic double-acting or spring-return fail-safe actuator
• Shafer™ hydraulic control technology
• EIM™ electronics and communication technology
• Multiple input power options with either AC or DC
• Local lockable Remote/Local/Offline switch
• Local open/close/stop switch
• Partial stroke test
• Fast speed of operation to Fail-safe position if required
• Emergency shutdown – independent safety circuits and solenoid valve
• Dual sealed Separate Terminal Chamber, allows installation wiring to be
performed or fuses to be replaced without exposing control components to
hostile environmental conditions.

Section 1: Introduction
May 2015
• Control enclosure is made of low-copper aluminum alloy, powder-coated, salt
resistant also rated for IP68 ingress protection.
• Hydraulic hand pump manual override
• Accumulators (optional)
• Solar power (optional)
• Operating pressures up to 3000 psi with standard components
• Easy control over actuator stroking speeds – The stroking speed is controlled
through adjustable hydraulic flow control valves. This enables field personnel to
easily adjust actuator stroking speed to comply with field requirements.
1.3 Safety Information
Safety notices in this manual detail precautions the user must take to reduce the risk of
personal injury and damage to the equipment. The user must read these instructions in
their entirety. Failure to observe these safety notices could result in serious bodily injury,

significant information regarding the actuator than this general manual.
Installation and Operation Manual
Part Number: VA001-507-32, Rev. 0
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure proper safety practices are utilized. Always
take necessary precautions and use proper protective equipment when dealing with
compressed gasses, compressed hydraulic fluid, pinch points and electricity.
Safety notices are presented in this manual in three forms (Warning, Caution and Note)
as follows:
WARNING:
Alerts user of potential danger; failure to follow the warning notice could result in
serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION:

2.1 Preparation
2.1.1 Delayed Usage
If for any reason the actuator is not to be installed immediately, Bettis recommends the
following procedures. Failure to comply, with recommended procedures, could lead to
actuator malfunction and possibly void the warranty. For storage procedures exceeding
one year, consult Bettis for further recommendations.
As shipped from the factory, the Bettis EHO actuator is an inherently weatherproof unit,
providing that all compartment covers and cable entry plugs remain intact. The actuator
should be immediately stored in a clean, dry warehouse, free from vibration and rapid
temperature changes, until it can be installed and energized.
If the actuator must be stored outside, store it off of the ground at an elevation
sufficient to prevent it from being immersed in water or buried in snow. Check for any
unpainted or exposed metal surfaces and make sure they are protected with a coating
of grease to prevent any corrosion. Cover the actuator to prevent damage from site
debris.

2.2 Valve Preparation
2.2.1 Remove Valve Gearing if so equipped.
2.2.2 If valve is equipped with stops, remove valve stem extension housing. Examine
the valve stops to ensure no foreign material is present that would restrict
normal travel of the valve. Some valves are equipped with inspection ports in
the valve housing for ease in examining the stops.
2.2.3 Check alignment of stem key slot to the position of the valve. Normally
with the valve in the open position, the key slot is in line with the run of the
pipeline.
With the valve in the closed position, the key slot should be 90° to the run of
the valve.
2.2.4 The EHO Actuator may be mounted to the valve at any time regardless of
whether or not the valve is under pressure.
2.3 Actuator Preparation
Section 2: Installation
May 2015
2.3.1 Once the EHO Actuator is uncrated and cleaned for installation, check to ensure
there will be no interference with piping or other structure when the actuator is
properly mounted to the valve.
NOTE:
At this point, check to see that when the actuator is mounted to the valve and in its final
orientation, the outboard end of the power cylinder positioned below the Hydraulic
Reservoir Breather. If this is not possible, contact Bettis for further instructions on piping
to elevate the breather. See Vertical Mounted Actuator 2.4.4.
2.3.2 Check that all mounting materials such as fasteners, adapters, brackets etc. are
on hand and ready for use.
2.3.3 Check the actuator and valve to see that they are in the same relative position,
that is either open or closed. If the actuator has to be moved, use the hand
pump provided. For hand pump operation, remove the plug in the reservoir and
install the breather (refer to 4.4 Hand Pump Operation).
2.3.4 All spring-return EHO Actuators are supplied with a small accumulator for
protection from thermal-expansion of the hydraulic fluid. This accumulator is
pre charged at the factory and will not need service during installation or startup of the actuator.
CAUTION:
Be aware, while preparing to and lifting the actuator, the Thermal Compensating
Accumulator contains high-pressure nitrogen. Use care not to damage the accumulator
or its attachments.

2.4 Lifting the EHO Actuator
NOTE:
All Bettis EHO G-Series or E-Series Considerations
When handling any EHO G-Series or E-Series actuator, be aware of tubing, accessories, hand
pump, accumulators, Pushbutton module and control enclosures. Straps and chains can
become entangled and cause damage to these components. Never use chains on the spring
cartridge as it may warp and cause the actuator not to function correctly or may cause
personal injury.
NOTE:
Do not use hydraulic tubing and electrical cable for lifting.
CAUTION:

Part Number: VA001-507-32, Rev. 0
Be sure to use appropriately rated crane/hoist and straps/chains to raise and lower
the actuator.

Figure 1 G01 – G2 and all E-Series Actuators with Horizontal Pipeline
and Vertical Stem
Horizontal Pipeline Vertical Stem
The small G-Series and all E-Series actuators mounting on a horizontal
pipeline with a vertical valve stem should be supported under the
“C” bracket and a two-point attachment for balance. A strap may be
attached to the stabilization tab on the spring module to balance the
unit while lifting. The weight of the actuator must be supported at the
“C” bracket, not the stabilization tab. See Figure 1.
CAUTION:
Never lift the actuator with a valve attached. Always handle actuator/valve assemblies
by attaching lifting equipment to the valve only.

2.4.4 Mounting the Actuator in a Vertical Orientation on a Horizontal Stem
When mounting an Bettis EHO Actuator in a vertical orientation, the Spring Module
must be positioned up. The actuator may be supported by using two straps in the
configuration shown in Figure 6. A third strap or small chain may be attached to the
stabilization tab on spring module to balance the unit while lifting. The weight of the
actuator must be supported by the straps running over the spring module and under the
drive module flange.
