How can I use it with my Ampero?

It's quite simple: connect the TRS jack to Ampero's EXP 2/FS jack with the attached TRS cable, then enter Global menu, find EXP 2/FS sub menu, set MODE to Dual FS. After this, you can assign any function you need to the footswitches.

When we talk about a latch-type footswitch, we're referring to a kind of footswitch that remains on status once triggered on until you operate on it again. For example, a light on/off switch. Latch-type footswitch does not require continuous compression from players, which is great for switching effect pedals on/off or switching between amp channels.

Momentary footswitch is different: it remains on only as long as it is being compressed (e.g. a lighter with a press button). When you do a single press on a momentary footswitch, it will generate a short on-off "pulse", which is recognized as a "trigger" on most digital multi-effects for switching presets, tap tempo, toggling effects on/off, etc. So momentary footswitch is mainly for controlling a digital gear.
