They are used for bite registration, ie a forward take or a drop back ,some people prefer them when used in adverse weather conditions..as they don't swing left or right in the wind..
However ,swingers made by fox are said to be the best all round indicators,as you can slide the weight up and down the arn,depending in the conditions facing the angler at the time..
Myself ,I use original Solar 147mm swing arms and i'lites,hope this helps ..

All makes sense now. Thank you. Often have my bobbins swinging side to side in the wind and giving false beeps.
I'll check out the Fox ones

I use cygnet short swing arms. I use these in conjunction with straight hockey sticks. When I pack up the swing arm lies verticaly along the body of the alarm and the bobbin sits in the recess where the rod would normally sit. Cygnet use 2ba threads so bear that in mind when buying other components such as the hockey stick and bobbin. The cygnet arm has a female end at the hockey stick. The hockey stick I had was also female so I bought a bag of 2ba grub screws of ebay. Once the swing arms are in place there is no need to remove when packing up

So your Alarms will work, as all Alarms work via friction (Line movement to Roller or Sensor) Fitting Indicators increase the amount of line contacting the Roller/Sensor, especially needed in wet, damp or frosty conditions when the line is prone to “slipping” and not activating the Alarm at all.
~ Chains are crap in windy conditions.
~ Swinger type arms are better; with added weights you can tighten the line to the rig.
~ Tension arms are much better as they are windproof and increase tension when you get a forward take, and also enhance any drop backs as tension releases.
Not a lot to it
