I'm glad to see that they've finally posted an updated version of the OI document with some additional explanation, but my measurements here indicate that the "cable off" threshold is higher than the 50mV they state. On one unit here, where the +5V Aux voltage was running about 100mV high, the end of travel was reached at 632mV and the cable disconnect voltage was right around 500mV.
