‘Under the Hood’
The NOVIA 236 processor is very compact with a major uti-
lization of surface-mount (SMD) technology. Some compo-
nents are ‘application-specific’ and/or pre-programmed at
the factory, but all of them are impossibly tiny. This makes
servicing the unit in the field a difficult proposition at best.
For these reasons, and also because of the small format of
this manual, we have dispensed with schematic diagrams,
servicing instructions and a listing of component parts.

Nevertheless, our policy has always been one of ‘full disclo-
sure.’ We feel that, unless we are doing something deceit-
ful, there should never be a reason to hide information from
the user. With a clear conscience, and upon request, we will
cheerfully provide additional documentation and divulge all
but the very darkest secrets concerning any Inovonics pro-
duct.
Because it is so small and lightweight, returning the NOVIA
236 for factory servicing is an option that we encourage.
Inovonics has never depended on factory repair charges as a
significant source of revenue, and we are confident that you
will be astonished at how reasonable our rates actually are!
