There are 3 wires on the fan for 2 different speeds. If you connect this to a standard wall switch you will only be able to get 1 fan speed. You should be able to tell which wires are used and then just connect the higher fan speed to your standard wall switch.
 
Suggestion: If you post the nameplate data, there may be a proper documentation available.
