Abstract: A method and apparatus of communicating control signals to a welding power source from a remote location includes a welding system operated by control signals transmitted by a wireless remote control that can be remotely located from the welding power source. A plurality of welding parameters in the welding system are set and adjusted in response to wireless command signals transmitted to a receiver that is connected to the welding power source via a connection port and is further connected to a controller in the welding power source. In this regard, an operator is able to quickly and efficiently control a welding system from a remote location, with no more cables than are necessary to perform the intended task.

Abstract: A wire feeder that is powered at least partially by a battery is provided. The wire feeder includes a welding wire spool and a welding wire drive system for receiving welding wire from the spool and feeding the wire through a flexible conduit attached to an enclosure of the wire feeder. A motor of the wire feeder drives the welding wire drive system, powered at least in part by the battery. The wire feeder includes a battery receptacle for receiving the battery. In certain embodiments, the wire feeder may be attached to a body of a user via a harness system.
