I'm trying to replace my old bell box with a new Pyronik Belle.

Powered down the alarm.
Opened up the control panel. Disconnected the control panel battery.

Went up the ladder took off the old bell box cover (still not sure of the old box's name/manufacturer).

Made a note of the connections.

"Siren Trigger" Brown Wire
"Strobe Trigger" (linked to "Srien Trigger", not a seperate wire)
"A/T Return" Orange wire
"Hold off supply -ve" Green wire
"Hold off supply +ve" white wire.

Unscrewed all wires.

Took off the old box and replaced with the new box.

Connected the wires to the new terminals as follows.

"B-" Green wire
"B+" White wire
"BA" Brown wire
"STB" linked this to "BA"
"BT" Orange wire
"TF" linked to "B-"

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE CONFIRM THIS IS CORRECT?

(There's a clear interal plastic cover which covers the wires, the clips snapped off, hope this isn't what's causing the problem which I have....)

I then placed the front cover on the box ensuring that it presses against the tamper swicth.

I didn't connect the internal batter of the alarm as I just wanted to see if it works off the mains.

I didn't connect the internal battery of the control panel either.

I just put the front cover of the control panel on and then powered the whole thing up via the mains.

The alarm started immediately sounding and the strobe started flashing.

The keypad LCD says "T!" (I'm assuming this stands for 'tamper' but without the instructions I'm not sure). The alarm cannot be deactivated by me inputting the code.

I switched off the mains power to the alarm.

Any ideas on what I've done incorrectly and why I'm having this problem?

There's now no power going to the alarm. Will it still remember my code and will it still be programmed if I re-power in a few hours or even tmrw if I don't get this sorted straight away? As I don't have any master codes/engineer codes.

Thanks for any help/advice and sorry for the long explanation.
