You'll need to refer to the manufacturers specifications for exact information, HOWEVER...
many times a multi-speed motor will use a white wire as common and the three additional wires allow you to select the operation speed when you connect one of them to the "hot" line.
Black wire goes to (line) which is 110v comming in to ceiling box from light switch. It will connect to either black or red, which ever they ran. White is neutral and connects to white in box. Blue is for the light kit if you are using one. You may also connect it to the black if you just use the chain to turn on light.
Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.
The blue wire is the hot in this case. It is the hot for usually the fan and then either a red or black is the hot for the light. If there is a heating lamp usually that will be a yellow hot. If you have separate switches for them then then simply one wire for each black, other wise pigtail the black and the 2 wires coming from the unit together. Make sure that if you are using one switch for the fixture that the breaker is suited for the amperage.
Assuming the ceiling fan also has lights then that is what the second lead is for. You can tie the black & blue together and attach them to black lead in the lighting box. The light and fan will come on together when you flip the light switch and you have to use the pull chain on it for control. ALWAYS connect the green ground wire to the house wiring ground. This is a SERIOUS safety and fire hazard issue if you do not.
It sounds like your fan also has a light with it. If your wall switch is a two gang box with two switches in it most likely one switch is for the light on only and the other switch is for the fan on only. This can be checked out by installing the fan and making the connection green to green, white to white, black to black. Turn on one of the switches and see if the fan operates. Disconnect this connection and then connect the red wire to the black fan wire. Turn the other switch on. If the fan turns on again, then the two switches were installed to operate the fan and light separately. If this is the case disconnect the red and fan black wires and reconnect the black to black. This is the fan connection. Connect the red to blue fan wire and this is the light on the fan connection.
I assume you are asking about matching up the colors. The only to know for certain is to trace the wires or test them for currant.Typically in a ceiling fan or exhaust fan the black, yellow, and blue are black=fan, blue=lighting, and yellow=neutral. Typically brown, black, and blue are all used as hot wires or switched wires. The brown or the blue could be standing in for neutral so, again, the only way to tell and be certain is to test each lead with an electrical tester.In electronics, these colors could be anything.Normally when you have these combinations there are special plugs at each end of each set but I assume they are missing so you may have to contact the manufacturer or call an electrician.Hope this helps.Gibbous
To properly wire a ceiling fan with 4 wires, you will need to connect the black wire to the fan's black wire, the white wire to the fan's white wire, the green wire to the fan's green wire, and the blue wire to the fan's blue wire. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and turn off the power before starting the installation.
This sounds like a ceiling fan that also has a light attached to it. The black and white wires are used for the incoming supply voltage. The green is the ground wire. The blue wire is most likely the wire that goes to the lamp portion of the ceiling fan. The black and blue wires are separated from each other in the fixture so that the fan motor and the light can be independently switched. In these types of installations a three wire cable is strung from the fan switch box to the fixture box.For independent switching, the junction box should be a two gang box. From the power source in the switch box, the white wires all connect together. The incoming black connects to the top of the two switches in the two gang box. Bottom of the first switch to the black in the three wire cable, Bottom of the second switch to the red wire of the three wire cable.At the fixture junction box, incoming white wire to the fan white wire. Incoming black wire to the fan black wire and incoming red wire to the fan blue wire. If wired this way the light and fan motor can be individually switched on and off.If there is only one switch box, at the fan junction point connect the black and blue wires together to the incoming black wire. White to white wires together and green wire to the ceiling junction boxes ground terminal. In this configuration the switch will turn on both the fan and light at the same time.
White to neutral, black to line, gray to fan and purple to fan.
To wire a ceiling fan with a light switch, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Install the ceiling fan bracket to the ceiling. Connect the fan wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling box (usually black to black, white to white, and green to ground). Connect the light kit wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling box (usually blue to black and white to white). Install the fan blades and light kit. Install the light switch and connect the wires (usually black to black, white to white, and ground to ground). Turn the power back on and test the fan and light switch. For a visual guide, refer to the diagram below: Diagram of ceiling fan wiring with light switch
The wires should try to connect to the correct colors of the wires that are attached to the wall. I would also read the user manual to find out where everything is attached.
Black wire goes to (line) which is 110v comming in to ceiling box from light switch. It will connect to either black or red, which ever they ran. White is neutral and connects to white in box.

You simply need to match up with wires on the ceiling fan with the wires in the ceiling. Remember Black is always hot! http://www.harborbreeze-ceilingfans.com/
Yes.
