Sorry, I am unfamiliar with Simplisafe's nomenclature. The base system was only purchased recently. On the shipping invoice, the part number for the keypad is SSKP3W, so my guess is that this is an SS3.
I added a second keypad and its a little different than other devices. You have to take the base and unscrew the battery compartment and press a button that is directly across from the screw. After you press the button you can add the keypad.
This is a recovery mode of sorts - something to use if there are no other devices already paired to your base station. For example, if you have no other keypad to use to add other devices, you would have to use this button method to add a keypad, and then you could use that keypad to add additional sensors.
All you gotta do is go to the original keypad and go to add a device and select ... keypad .... The system will tell you what to do from there. Don't forget to pull the battery insulator.
My keypad doesn't work (doesn't come on even with new batteries) so I tried using the key fob. It doesn't activate the system even after plugging it into the base. Do I have to have a keypad for the system to arm? I'm looking to add a door lock but may switch to another (Ring) system all together if I have to start from scratch.
