Might I inquire as to how you plan to insure the touchpad gets depressed / how you plan to deal with the steel channel in the center of the touchpad?
The fingers and the polycarb plates would be sufficient to hit the touchpad unless they are completely parallel with the touchpad at the time the climber hits the davit. While unlikely, it could be an issue. And the shaft itself is recessed within the intake, so when the shaft is touching the davit, the polycord itself would be touching the touchpad, possibly putting enough pressure to trigger the sensor. Whether or not that in itself would provide the sufficient amount of force depends on the tension of the polycord.
