Wiring He260 to Amana furnace
Just purchase the Honeywell He260 and would like to wire it to my Amana Furnace DMS90904CXA without using the sail switch or possible transformer.
On the circuit board I see a HUM-H prong protected with a red rubber cap, from reading the service manual this HUM-H connector is energized when the blower is on and is 115V. I assume I have to attach the supplied transformer from Honeywell, black wire to HUM-H and white wire to Neutral. Now that leaves me the two connections on the transformer (24v) labeled R and C.
I am just a bit lost now as to what I connect this to. Should I connect the R to Humidistat -> Humidifier -> back to C on the transfer? If so what about the C that is on the furnace which is also labeled 24V and possible connection for Humidifier?
on my furnace there is already a 24V 40A transfer connected, can I use that?
is it possible that there's two options for connection, 115v and 24v?
any help or direction as to where I can find information regarding this would be appreciated.

Do not use the furnace C terminal. You do not need a sail switch if you have a 115vac Hum terminal.
I'd wire it like this...

Good art work there Houston.
Yep, wire it like he shown there. I would advise a single out let, or like I done on mine.
That way some one can't plug in something else that may be a higher amp that may hurt the board.

Hi Jay/Houston.. and anyone else
on the service manual it says
All 80% & 90% furnaces have an integrated ignition control
that is equipped with line voltage accessory terminals
for controlling power to an optional field-supplied
humidifier and/or electronic air cleaner.
Accessory Load Specifications
Humidifier 1.0 Amp maximum at 120 VAC
Electronic Air Cleaner 1.0 Amp maximum at 120 VAC
can I still connect the 24v transformer onto this terminal without causing any problems?
page 61 and 62

Hi Jay,
it's not a plug in type transformer, it's one of those you have to wired up.
anyway I am thinking of not using the transformer, can I attach the humidifier/humidistat from the yellow wire off the Blower pressure switch (in the burner compartment) in series to the C commons (in the blower compartment) on the furnace and not use the Hum-H/Neutral which is 115v, while the other option is already 24v. correct me if I am wrong.
see diagram below RED 24V, BLUE 115V.
