Very common in measuring equipment of all sorts from thermometers to tachometers.

For example, when measuring voltages with a voltmeter you set the instrument to a range of say 0 to 10 volts.  If the incoming voltage is 12 volts the meter will display "out of range".   I'm sure you can think of hundred of other examples.

Even my wallet has a limit: a Mercedes costing US$120,000 is totally out of my range...

Oh well.
