Abstract	A large-aperture set-up designed for nuclear physics experiments on beams of radioactive nuclei is described. The set-up includes Multiwire Proportional Chamber (MWPC) for measuring the beam profile, MWPC for measuring reaction product angular distributions, a CsI(Tl)-crystal detector and a longitudinal drift ionization chamber for identifying scattered particles and measuring their energy. The results of tests of coordinate MWPCs, particle identification on photon and ion beams, and preliminary measurements of the elastic scattering and the charge exchange reaction of 170 MeV ^{6}He on a CH_{2} target are presented.
