A range check error is generated when an array goes out of bounds.
Unfortunately, as mentioned in previous replies to this list, it is not 
always easy to find out which array causes the problem.

If you have a Fortran debugger, you can use it to track the problem. If 
you are using Compaq Visual Fortran, make sure to set your debugger to 
stop when this kind of error occurs.
To do so:
- Open the TRNSYS project in CVF.
- Press F11 (Step into) to start debugging  the program and stop at the
  first instruction.
- Go to Debug/Exceptions
- Select all exceptions, check "Stop always" and  click OK
- Press SHIFT+F5 to abort the program
- Press F5 again to enter the program in Debug  mode without stopping at
  the first instruction

You can also try to identify the component that causes the problem by 
removing components one after each other (but in your case you will have 
problems with Type 19, which requires a combination of several IISiBat 
components). You said "I did as example 5". I assume you modified 
something in Example 5, so you can start again from example 5 and try to 
identify the modification that causes the problem.

Finally, here are some frequent causes of range check errors (in case 
the problem is not related to Type 19):

- Equation with missing right side
  Example:
  EQUATIONS 3
  VAR1 = 10
  VAR2 =
  VAR3 = 20

- Attempt to use an output number in an equation without using the
  brackets
  EQUATIONS 2
  VAR1 = [1,1]*10.0  ! OK
  VAR2 = 10.0+1,1    ! INCORRECT

Other typical mistakes leading to range check errors are related to 
maximum number of nodes (e.g. if a component allows up to 10 nodes and 
you try using a11 nodes, sometimes the component does not catch the 
error and you get a range check error)

I hope this helps
