Connecting new external sounder to Optima XM6 alarm panel?

Hi - I have purchased an Odyssey Series external sounder to replace a faulty sounder box connected to my Optima XM6 alarm panel. The terminals in the alarm panel are marked -

Strobe +,
Strobe -,
'T' Tamper Return,
'A' 0 volts,
'D' 12v +ve,
'B' Trigger on.

Many thanks.

Thanks pete. I already have the wire colours as connected to the Optima XM6 alarm box. What I need is what are the corresponding terminals on the Odyssey External sounder to connect them to.

you will need to see which wires are used for each function on the old box.
Wire colours are not made obvious in alarms , ie red is seldom +ve, black is seldom -ve (or 0v), its usually a random thing for added security.
