Operation
Section 5: Operation
After initial start-up and commissioning procedures have been accomplished, the Bettis EHO
Actuator provides a simple self-contained means of operation for a quarter-turn valve. In case
of a power failure the actuator can be operated by the use of the suppliedhandpump.
5.1
Hydraulic Power System
The Hydraulic System, powered by an electric motor, contains manifold based valves
and controls with minimal piping. The system will drive the actuator to the OPEN/CLOSE
position as selected by operation personnel.
5.2
Reservoir
The Bettis Self-contained Electro-Hydraulic Actuator includes a fluid reservoir sized to
contain the hydraulic fluid required to operate the actuator cylinder and controls. The
standard unit has a sight gauge to ensure presence of fluid and a dipstick measure attached
to the fill/breather cap to more accurately gauge the quantity of fluid contained.
