Black Water Techma toilet

Can anybody tell me how to empty the black tank for my techma toilet in my FR3. I only get a yellow light on my my wall panel. The little black tank is more than 3/4 full. I’m trying to empty the tank to see if the light changes to green.

Are you sure your black tank is not tempting get a clear elbow for your dump outlet so that you can actually monitor what is happening with the tank. It could be that its empty and you have scum or toilet paper causing the reading. Have you tried flushing the tank?

We had a bad sensor on our Techma that had to be replaced. Only way we could flush was to override it. yes the black tank was empty. once replaced it is good to go

Please describe in detail the override procedures for the Tecma toilet.
We had issues last time out and were unable to find an override procedure in the owners manual or online.
Please share. Thanks
