The optional filament runout / break detection sensor is basically a switch inside a housing, which will be triggered and closes the contact when filament is fed through.
The switch is NO (normally open) and the connector for plugging it into the mainboard's connector is a JST-XH2.54 (male, 2 pins), labeled as "E".

After you mounted it, connected it with the belonging wire - the two pin connector is labeled as "E".
After you mounted it, connect it with the belonging wire - the three pin connector with only two pins being wired up is labeled as "E".
You then lead the filament through it which then moves the little lever inside of the switch to trigger it and the electrical circuit will be closed. If the filament runs out because it broke or the spool is empty, the switch will open and the printer will pause (-> Or only shows a warning message? I don't know yet!).
