Does trigger voltage matter if flash is used through pc sync?

Hello

I want to use a couple of external flashes triggered wirelessly. I purchased this set from ebay :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FM-Wireless-R...ItemQQimsxZ20081209?IMSfp=TL081209153003r4902

I purchased that system instead of the battery operated triggers because they look more solid and doesn't need batteries. I lose mobility but anyway I'm only going to use it indoors. Also it connects to flashguns through a pc sync connection.

My question is :

Can I use that to fire an old but perfectly good Sunpak auto 170 without destroying the wireless receiver? .I measured it and the trigger voltage is around 45V. I don't know if high trigger voltages also affect pc sync connections.


Regards

hmm, they will probably be ok, it should state the max sync voltage in the spec/manual. pocketwizards are good for 250V+
 
Thanks for your answers

TrevDR, I had seen that list already, but anyway I measured the flash trigger voltage and is around 45V.

And these are not pocket wizards, just cheap ebay triggers.

What do you think? Will it fry the receiver?
 
Ok, thank you all. I guess I'll give it a try and come back later with the results :)
