NOTE: If Echelon Neuron IC is replaced on anything other than a 5-Button station, it must be re-programmed or it will not function. 7080Z2025-1.3 is the newest type, and can be used as a direct replacement for 7080Z2004-12. The Neuron ID of the station is permanently programmed in this IC, so replacing the IC will change the station's ID.
Reprogramming of any Unison Station IC must be done at ETC.
