As first cavity the 2.5 m long RFQ was manufactured. Within this length it accelerates particles with a mass to charge ratio up to three to an energy of 600 keV/u. The operation frequency is 162.5 MHz and the 4-Rod structure consists of 23 RF cells that need to be adjusted using tuning blocks in order to provide the required field distribution along the electrodes. The status of the manufacturing and the upcoming tuning process including the overall RF setup of the RFQ are summarized in this paper.
