I've a RPS Studio studio flash kit which uses 160WS monolights. The
unit is the BY-160Di. The specs do not mention what the trigger voltage
is. On the off chance, would anyone here happen to know what it might
be? I'm trying to track down the customer service for RPS Studio but
not having much luck at it. Anyone using similar rated monolights and
could pass along the trigger voltage for those units? I'm using a Nikon
AC-15 PC sync adapter but my Canon isn't rated for higher than 6 volts
so I don't want to damage the camera.

If you have a digital multi-meter you can measure it at the flash's
sync terminal.

Inexpensive multimeters are available from Radio Shack and on Amazon
for $5 - $15.
