Hello all,
I am new to the forum, but it looks like there is a wealth of knowledge available here. I hope I can add something to the "community."
I recently purchased a HE 360A to replace an old humidifier that is not functioning. I understand the basics involved in wiring it up through reading multiple posts, but I cannot seem to figure out how to connect it to my furnace. I do not want to use the sail switch in the install kit and would rather wire it directly to the furnace. I could not locate a "HUM" terminal on the circuit board and was wondering if anyone new if there is a way to accomplish what I am trying to do. Again, the furnace is a Bryant 395B.
I appreciate any assistance that is available.
Have a great day.
Jon

I am unable to find a manual on line for this mode.
Can you find EAC/ EAC N?

There are two "EAC" screw terminals. One is labeled EAC-1 and the other EAC-2.

Ok, that what you can use. those screws will power up when the blower runs.
You mount a single outlet/box on the side of the furnace, and then run the wires to EAC. Then plug the humidifier itself to that, and run the two yellow wire right to the humidistat.

So both of them will be hot when the blower runs? So I would hook up a black wire to one of them and then to the hot terminal on an outlet. What should I hook the white, neutral, wire too that would run to the neutral side of the outlet?
Thanks for your help!

If I recall on Bryant, the EAC1 is hot, EAC2 is your common side.

I will have to get out my voltmeter and check it out. Thanks for the tips and quick response! It is greatly appreciated.
