The Abrites ZN085 programmer reads RH850 processors and reads/writes V850 processors fitted to instrument clusters, BCMs and HFMs. This guide covers what's in the kit, how to power it properly and how to connect it to the PC along with the AVDI before any job.

⚠ WarningDo not use external power supplies, especially anything above 5V: the programmer will be damaged. Use only the cables and adapters supplied (CB107 and ZN083): with different cables or power supplies the software can behave unpredictably and throw errors. Do not connect AVDI, PROTAG and ZN085 to an unpowered USB hub: it can cause software malfunctions and damage to the units.
Procedure
Check the kit contents: ZN085 programmer for RH850/V850, ZN083 5V/2A DC power supply, CB107 USB A-C cable, CB501 connection cable (for connecting to the electronic units by soldering) and a set of 3.3 Ohm resistors.
Check the PC requirements: Windows 10 or later and a USB port able to supply 100 mA at 5V +/- 5%.
Power the programmer only from the ZN083 5V/2A adapter supplied in the kit. No other power supply, no voltage above 5V.
Connect the ZN085 to the PC using only the CB107 USB A-C cable supplied by Abrites.
Connect the AVDI to the PC by USB as well: both devices have to be present on the PC to work.
Connect the devices straight to the laptop where possible. If that isn't feasible, use a powered USB hub: standard hubs don't have the power capacity to carry AVDI, PROTAG and ZN085 together.
Start the Abrites Quick Start Menu, scroll to the "RH850/V850 programmer" entry and click it to open the software.
On the main screen pick the MCU type you're working on: RH850, V850 (Renesas) or NCF.
