Why is the bell box being connected to the battery?

Are you sure you should be doing this?

I'm not sure no, the box is a honeywell AG6 and the instructions say "Connect BATT link on the AG6"

So the terminal block in the external sounder marked BATT + and - doesn't connect up to the control panel then. Does it mean put a link between + and -.

So what does it mean then?

Connect the link cos its there?
Connect it because its a bit of fun?
Connect it after making all other connections so it becomes a SAB once all tampers have been closed?

Connect 4 ?

It's refering to a small, black jumper link that you need to move over to enable the onboard battery.

It looks like this:

And shorts out two pins.

Thanks for you help Alarm but could you please expand a little more, when you say "Connect it after making all other connections so it becomes a SAB once all tampers have been closed". The tamper in the box is only closed once the screw which holds the cover on is fully in. So are you saying run a cable and connect to BATT+ and- then once the lid on connect up at the control panel to the battery. If thats the case back to my original question what size cable should I use.
