Mend Reson8 Alarm Control Panel Strobe

How to fit new Reson8 bell box?

I Have just fitted a new Reson8 bell box and connected it to my existing Optima control panel (Which has been working fine )and I have followed the instructions for wiring perfectly. However:
1/ Every time I change the timer settings from TEST to 20 MINS the alarm goes off.
2/The LED's and strobe lights are not working.
3/ The battery being charged indicator light is not working.
4/When I trigger the alarm only the control panel alarm goes off.
Can anyone please help?

I need to check that the siren is not set to test, any advice as it is tamper proof. Thank you.

Firstly, if the alarm goes off when you change the timer from test, you have probably left the tamper switch open. 2. Check the battery and the 12volt supply if the LEDs are not working. One indicates tamper and the other power
3. As above
4. Check and double check the connections from the panel to the bell box

External siren Output (Bell box)

Terminal T A D B are for connection to the external siren. These terminals provide a
power/hold-off supply, sounder trigger and tamper circuit to protect the external siren housing.
The terminals are summarised as follows:
T - -Ve tamper return
A - -Ve supply (0V)
D - +Ve supply (12V)
B- -Ve Sounder trigger
For ease of installation, ADE external sirens and modules use the same markings.
