 IO0 is used as a zero-crossing detector for the 50\ Hz network frequency. For this purpose, the pin is required to be configured as a digital input with an edge trigger switched on: IO0 is used as a zero-crossing detector for the 50\ Hz network frequency.

- +Zero crossings must be captured by an external circuit, creating a homopolar pulse during every zero crossing. For this purpose, for example an AC optocoupler such as SFH620 is suitable.

 +This setting allows very granular gradations with a resolution of 200\ ns. Since under mains voltage a half cycle is 10\ ms and values between 100 (the is the smallest possible value in [[en:netzer:io#impuls|pulse operation]] and 50000 possible. Values comply with the time according **to which** the thyristor is powered. I.e. the larger the value, the less power will run at the output.
