switch loop and polarity

I am finishing up wiring for my new furnace. It required a power ventor and I also have humidifier. These are going on a single circuit separate from the furnace. they only draw a total of about 3 amps but that was enough to require new circuit. the power ventor has a control. The control gets the power and the ventor gets it power from the control. I figure I should put in a disconnect (switch) in this system. I plan to run the circuit into the control and then make a switch loop. The instructions say that it is polarity sensitive. So, here is plan-- white from panel will go to the area marked "neutral" and black will splice to a relabeled white on wire going to switch. The area on controller marked "hot" will connect to the black wire going to the switch. Will this be correct polarity?

oh the humidifier is corded plug so will not be part of this switch. It will have it's own outlet in same circuit.
