The ASHIPH (Aerogel, SHifter, PHotomultiplier) Cherenkov counters are considered as a particle identification system alternative option for the detector on future Super Charm-Tau factory. The ASHIPH counters have been operating successfully in the KEDR and SND experiments in Novosibirsk at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. Previously in our experiments Micro Channel Plate PMTs were used for the photon detection in the ASHIPH counters. Now, we have developed a prototype of the ASHIPH counter with SiPM (Silicon PMTs) array as a photodetector. Such an upgrade will increase the number of detected photoelectrons by 2.5 times and consequently improve the quality of particle separation. The results of testing the ASHIPH counter prototype on the electron test beam facility of the VEPP-4M accelerator is presented.
