Does the Reson8 bell require permanent 12v live ?

[Steve23]

Hi guys.

I'm installing my new Reson8 bell box and I have wired the wiring into the control panel (Honeywell flex) as per the instructions but there was no +12v in the terminal block for the bell in the panel so I put that wire into the intellibus +12v terminal just above it.

The bell box has been installed on the wall with the cable fed through but it's not been wired up yet as the weather changed.

But I did test the tamper wires and that worked and thought I would read +12v from that one.

I thought the bell monitored for power loss so presumed the 12v would be permanent am I right or wrong.

Thanks.
