Open circuit on an alarm system.

[GLES]

I've got an open circuit on a strobe, whilst trying to fit an Optima Compact Gen4 for someone. This is showing up as a tamper and I'm struggling to clear it. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
It's been a while since I've worked on an alarm, I'm more into solar PV installs these days.
Any help is appreciated.

As a temporary fix, just disable the tamper for that zone by joining the 2 tamper connectors together at the main board.

Thanks for the replies fellas. This is a straight swap of the alarm panel, like for like. The old one was knackered so I'm just connecting everything up as was. The strobe, I assume, refers to the lights on the bell box. The bell is a separate bit of cable. So if I put a link in on the strobe on the panel, should that omit the problem?
