These splitter are new like this month I was looking for direction to hooking it up? Are we just hooking it up to auxiliary one then taking the lead and attaching it in with one of the bottom screws in the photo?
Can you be more specific? I’m not exactly sure what you’re talking about here…
You put it on the Z axis between the proximity sensor and the cable going to the control box. The wire goes to a nearby screw on the Z axis. Test the resistance in ohms between the screw and your collet. Should be low.
Where did you find that design splicer? I have been looking for one like that and couldn’t find it with a search.
You’ll have to contact Avid to order it I just got it today but it’s a little too cold out to get to it 
there isn’t any instructions with it and I couldn’t find any on their website
@Gbeck214 you are correct in how you mount this. We just quietly added this to all new EX controller that go out. It will be listed on the website and included in instructions soon, we just have some folks on vacation currently so there are a few things in the queue.
Awesome!! 
Is this just for the EX upgrades or is it recommended for existing EX machines?
I don’t currently have this on my existing EX machine and I have not had to use the grounding magnet when using the touch plate.

This can work for both Mach and EX systems. On many (NOT ALL!) systems the touch plate can be detected through the spindle without the magnet, even without this splitter.
On EX you can go to “Set Part Zeros” and test this easily by just touching the plate to the bit in the spindle to see if the graphic changes.
If it does you should be good to go. If you have to push really hard, or the connection seems unreliable you probably need the splitter.
If you do need the splitter contact support and they can get you setup.
