Hello, can anyone give me advice on how to connect wiring for ceiling fan in the UK with receiver unit please? Please see attached files. There are stickers on the 4 wires as follows:-
Red - L
Black - N
White - Light
Blue - Light
I have also attached the wiring diagram which I don’t understand.
Thank you.

The wiring diagram doesn't seem to be the correct one for the remote receiver module, with different coloured wires. Almost as if the receiver is a UK model, while the wiring diagram is for another country model e.g. US. Do you have the model number for the receiver? Also, are you replacing a faulty receiver or is this adding a new remote to a fan that doesn't have one?

Hi, thanks for your response. I don’t know what the model number is. However there are some stickers on the side. Pls see attached file.
It’s a completely new ceiling fan with light. It will replace normal uk light fitting.

Sorry, the stickers don't mean anything, possibly there is an internal part number amongst what is printed.

It looks like the cables on one side have connectors that possibly connect internally to the motor - if there is a set of matching cables or terminals in the assembly. And the other set, that you indicated were labelled, are perhaps the supply and light connections.

The last time I fitted one of these to a fan, there were quite precise instructions about wiring it it, how to have the pull-switch set on the fan, and how to pair the receiver with the remote. Don't know if that will be the case with your fan.

If you bought this from somewhere reputable, I'd perhaps complain and/or return it, on the basis that you don't have instructions that match what was delivered.
 
looks like it maybe US version, and may be 120V.
 
and the instructions mention "wire nuts".
 
I'm with Tel - the colours and wording make it sound like it's a US version
