Introduction
1.4 Maintenance
At least once a year a check should be made of your BETTIS actuator.
a) Disconnect all electrical power to actuator.
b) Open Electrical Enclosure. Inspect and tighten all electrical connections.
c) Visually inspect for any electrical or mechanical damage. Replace worn or
damaged components.
d) Check lubrication consistency and level. Fill or replace if required.
1.5 Pressure Relief
During normal operation of Electric Actuator, gear temperature increase in combination
with outdoor temperature variations will cause a small pressure build-up. BETTIS furnishes
a Pressure Relief Vent Fitting P/N 83385. Placement on Actuator can be determined only
after eld location and position of valve has been determined. Select the highest 1/2 NPT
vent location in the Gear Box, remove 1/2 NPT Plug and replace with P/N 83385. Possible
locations of the Plugs are shown on BETTIS Outline Drawing.
1.6 Short Term Storage
1. Actuator should be stored in the recommended mounting position. The motor
should be horizontal and Electrical Enclosure either horizontal or vertical.
Figure 1
2. Actuator should be stored indoors free from job site dirt, mud, moisture and
temperature changes.
3. If indoor storage is not possible, the actuator must be stored off the ground, above
possible water or snow level. Remove MCP and store with other electrical and
electronic equipment in protected warehouse. If MCP is not removed, Space
Heater MUST be energized to protect Electrical and Electronic Controls.
