If it's the right size for the transformer then yes. No spaces where you can get to the transformer terminals when fitted.

I wired it all to a fused plug to test it before installation. The bell doesnt power on though power is going with as it checked with a tester.

So you have the bell now. What does the manual say about the power.
The link you supplied for the bell just shows batteries.
You said the bell required 8-12V. The transformer I suggested was pinched from a manual of Amazon. I will see if I can find it again.

Thanks for your reply. The manaul is actually crap in regards to the AC power, it just says AC 8V-24V (the description on the sales page says 8V-12V as you can see) and directs to the screw holes on the alarm.
I have tried the 8V, 12V then the 24V settings and none work.

maybe your existing system wants D.C.

In your post #24, where you put the link to the item in ebay, I can't see anywhere where it states the voltage. It just shows batteries.
I'm still trying to find the one I was on Amazon, where I got the transformer from.
Have you tried contacting the seller on ebay and asking them how to wire it?

 

[Westindieman]

I did ask for help from them but they were as much use as the manual.

Might be worth getting the batteries and trying the bell with them. They might have sent you a faulty bell.
