I have seen many posts on this site installing the HE360A on various furnaces. It seems like the primary suggestion is to use the EAC connector to power the humidifier directly. The potential problem I have is that I plan on installing both an auxilary duct blower fan to push more air upstairs and a UV air cleaner. It seems to me that if I hook up all three to the one EAC connector I have that I would be consuming more power than the furnace can handle. Since I know the UV air cleaner and auxilary blower should be powered year round whenever the blower is running, I think it would be best to hook these to the EAC connector. Yet, the two of them may still be more than the furnace can handle. Am I wrong? So I guess I am wondering for now, should I hook up the humidifier to the Hum connector using a 24V relay? Or can all three run from the EAC connector. Am I missing something here? I appreciate any advise. Thanks!

Already found a small mistake with what I typed.
There are two EAC terminals, EAC1 and EAC2. Both are rated at 115V and 1.5A. The Hum terminal is rated at 24V and 0.5A.

The EAC1 is your "Hot" side, and EAC2 is your "common" side.
Sounds like you are going to have a lot going on there..
So , may look like you are best to plug the unit in a regular outlet, and use the A50 relay or Sail switch.
If you haven't gotten the unit, then a bypass unit then can use the board's 24 volts HUM hook up.
