Open fuse. The control diagram in this installer's guide labels the low-voltage fuse as 5 amp.
American Standard S9V2 E12 means the fuse is open. The control drawing in this installer's guide labels that fuse as 5 amp. The alarm line does not add a thermostat-wiring procedure. Do not fit a larger fuse. A technician has to find why it opened. This is not E6.1, reversed polarity, which is a different alarm on the same table.
Likely causes

When to call a pro
