powerline 2000 connecting 2 different devices at different locations using 3 powerline adapters
I have a device connected thru Powerline adapters in one room. I now want to connect another device in another room. Do I just add a third Powerline adapter at the new location?
thanks

Yes.
Remember, when adding new plugs to an existing network, you need to follow this advice:

You need just one plug wired into the router.
I find it easier to set up plugs alongside one another where it is easy to check that they are connecting, and then to move them to their final destination. They will remember their settings even when unplugged.
