Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
• IMG Stage Line TWIST-75 LED Spot with IEC powercable 0,9m
• 1 bracket for truss mounting
• Safety eye
• User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours will be achieved
under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place
care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the
reduction of overall projection intensity.

connections with the mains with particular caution!
xNever remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
xNever use anything to cover the ground contact.
xNever lift the fixture by holding it at the projector-head, as the mechanics may be damaged.
Always hold the fixture at the transport handles.
xNever place any material over the lens.
xNever look directly into the light source.
xNever leave any cables lying around.
xNever unscrew the screws of the rotating gobo, as the ball bearing will otherwise be opened.
xDo not insert objects into air vents.
xDo not connect this device to a dimmerpack.
xDo not switch the device on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the device’s life.
xDo not touch the device’s housing bare-handed during its operation (housing becomes very hot).
Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.
xDo not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
xOnly use device indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquids.

xThe installation must always be secured with a safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate safety net
or safety-cable.
xWhen rigging, derigging or servicing the projector, always make sure, that the area below the
installation place is blocked and staying in the area is forbidden.
The TWIST-75LED can be placed on a flat stage floor or mounted to any kind of truss by a clamp.

1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.
2. Always use a safety cable.
3. Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
4. Turn on the music. If the device is set to sound-control, then the TWIST-75LED will react to the beat of the
music. Please see page 15 for more information about the sound-control options.
Multiple TWIST-75LEDs (Master/Slave control)
1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.
