I'd set 28 to 0 and it should stop.
06 on OSO shouldn't allow it but I think 01 on UTI overrides it. Might be a bug.

So the 03 code is battery disconnected Sorry. Why will it said battery disconnected. Is it because it was over charging

What setting should I put the battery on before it gets to low

More than likely. Are you using communications?
That's personal preference, somewhere around 50V would give you a little reserve capacity.

No communication yet I try the data logger but couldn’t get it to connect so I will have to get a raspberry or orange pi but not sure how to load it. Any suggestions

I'd reduce the bulk charging voltage.
What is it set at currently?
It's probably saying battery disconnected because the BMS is in a protection state.

I will keep an eye on it as of now is working fine. What voltage should I be getting on the solar to inverter this is what mine showed

Depends on your panel specs and how many in series...

This is my spec and I have 7 panels on series times 4 with a 4 input combiner box 2 out puts

Your voltage in post 68 looks good.
So you have 7s2p to each mppt?
2 paralleled strings of 7 panels in series going to each mppt? 14 panels on each mppt, 28 panels total

Yes 7 panels in series for each input and 14 going to the each of the inverter inputs just not sure if I am getting all the voltage or wattage from the 28 panels let me know

I don't know I can't see your inverter during peak conditions.
You should see ~5.1kW per mppt in ideal conditions, display menu 3 will give you that data in the same location your voltage is displayed above. Somewhere around 18A and 280V, voltage will increase when your batteries are full as seen in your photo above.

Good afternoon it is 1:50 pm here in Orlando Florida full sun to the panels here are the pictures display from the inverter I only see 1.7 kw per pv and a 4,5kwh not sure what that one is let me know If Iam reading them wrong or I am no getting all the kw from the panels.

Your batteries are likely full... Panels won't be producing as much as they could.
What type of batteries do you have? You're using the gel setting?

I am using this one, yes gel setting, but only have one for now. Are the volts and kw on the pictures looks good or I am not getting all the power I should from the 14 panels in each inputs.. I should be getting at least a 4kw per out I would think.

If your batteries are full the power has nowhere to go unless you're running loads to use the power from the panels.
I'd say everything looks good considering the battery is full.

Your battery settings for that LiFePo battery should be
#8 battery type - L16
for communication if not in USER mode
#32 - 485
and
#33 - PYL
That's the same battery as @Lighthouse Beacon has.

I did try my water heater by it self but as soon as I turn the hot water on the inverter fault it and I hade full sun. The water heater is this one. Is like I did not have enough power to make it work… so if I have full sun and loads on the inverter the pv will go up more that 1.7kw

Look at the specs for that water heater then look at what the inverter is rated for... You don't have near enough power.
It will handle a conventional hot water heater just fine.
Yes.
