alarm bell box:sabb wiring help

Hi,

I've just replaced a bell box that I had with a sabb bellbox. On wiring it, I don't see any mention of how the bellbox should be wired to the power supply from the panel? It makes reference to a battery on the alarm box and wires to be connected installing, but no explicit reference to wiring for taking power from the panel.

A really stupid question, but I apologise - I foolishly put the panel on the wall, without testing it first! Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Fof HKC panels a 6 core cable goes between the bellbox (SABB) and main panel - 2 core alarm circuit, 2 core tamper circuit, 2 core 12V power supply. Simple as

I should have mentioned the panel is a ademco galaxy panel, with the following outputs

hold + & -
tamper
bell
strobe

so there's a mismatch in the outputs to the bell box.

the bell box has

Internal bell + & -
External bell + & -
sabb hold
tamper return

any ideas - or have I just got an incompatible box
