10. SIG-PRO (Protected Premises) proposal to eliminate ground fault detection on networked (CAT5/6) wiring. This would be a Class N Circuit. SIG-PRO (Protected Premises) proposal to eliminate ground fault detection on networked (CAT5/6) wiring. This would be a Class N Circuit. SIG-PRO voted to change the definition of fire protection zones within a premises. Non-fire additions would require a isolation module to be installed for each entry into a zone.
