Given that this happened after a tree hit the power lines, (and I assume that your facility has three-phase power), there's a good chance that the tree caused some nastiness between the primary phases. Since this can create nasty power spikes, the first thing I would suggest would be for you do a reset: hold the #1 and #5 down for five seconds - you should see the CUE /READY / ERROR lights flash. You can also check the 5 volt and 12 volt power rails on the back of the ACT, where there are terminals internally connected at the input area. If one or more of the power rails are missing, hopefully there will be blown fuses inside which will solve your problem. Please note, however, that these outputs are apparently isolated from the internal electronics, so if they check good then you will still need to open the unit and check for other blown fuses inside. One other thought is because the ACT does not have an internal backup battery, if power is lost it will revert to a startup condition.
