In collaboration with Jefferson Laboratory, DESY and the A. Soltan Institute HZB developed a fully superconducting RF photo-injector as a first step towards a high average current electron source for the BERLinPro ERL. This setup consists of a 1.6 cell superconducting gun cavity with a lead cathode plasma-arc deposited on the half cell backwall and a superconducting solenoid. The system, including a warm diagnostic beam-line section, was recently installed in the HoBiCaT test facility to study beam dynamics within the ERL parameter range. This paper will give an overview of the horizontal cavity tests, dark current studies and beam measurements.
