Abstract The fast timing capabilities, compactness, high sensitivity and radiation hardness of diamond detectors make them ideally suited for measurements in the pulsed beam from the S2C2. In this communicaiton, we will present first results obtained on the S2C2 with such a diamond probe and the mechanical design of a dedicated test bench to be used for factory tests. The test bench is able to measure the beam direction, the intensity distribution in the beam, the emittance (with an emittance slit) and the exact moment when the beam is extracted from the S2C2. We are able to measure the frequency at which the protons are extracted from the S2C2 and to observe small (<100 keV) mean energy fluctuations in the extracted beam. All these measurements can be done with extreme low beam intensities so that activation of the S2C2 is highly reduced.
