Recently we have proposed a new concept of a thermal neutron detector based on resistive plate chambers and 10B4C solid neutron converters, enabling to readout with high resolution in both the 3D position of neutron capture and the neutron time of flight (ToF). In this paper, we report the results of the first beam tests conducted with a new neutron RPC detection module, coupled to the position readout units of a new design. The main focus is on the measurements of the neutron ToF and identification of the converter layer where the neutron is captured, giving the position along the beam direction.
