  A facility to stop and reaccelerate rare isotope beams is under construction at Michigan State University. It is based on gas stopping devices and a superconducting heavy-ion linac. It will use initially beams produced by the cyclotrons of NSCL and later from the linac of FRIB . A diagnostics system for the low energy and intensity stable and radioactive beams of the facility is under development. It is largely based on detection techniques and instrumentation typically developed for nuclear and particle physics. Some of the devices already have been used to commission ReA and hit project milestones, while others are in assembly and fabrication stages. A description of the devices and the current status of the diagnostics system will be presented along with examples of the experience so far with the diagnostics’ operation at the reaccelerator.
